Yeah normal cable ties to hold the brake cable on. Cheers for the link. I'll look at getting some of these.

Bit late to the party, but nice build. Enjoyed the read. Nice job as well with everyone chiming in for the ID. It is indeed a PR10, probably from 1977. There was abit of the Reynolds sticker remaining in one of the early photos. The 1978s had a different fork crown, at least on the PS10 and PX10 (which you can see in the attached photos). The way to tell the difference between the PR10 and PS10 during that time....if the Reynolds stickers have been removed, is to look at the top of the seat stays -- they're painted gold on the PR10s. The PS10 top stays are painted with narrow stripes of black, blue, white and red. Here's a photo of my 1978 PS10 with original bits. 1978 was the last year with that decal scheme. Great riding bike!

Nice build! I like these kind of saved-from-the-scrapyard projects and I gotta say that the modern group works surprisingly well with the frame. Late 80s/90s steel frames with modern groups usually look great but I was a bit sceptical about a 70s frame with a modern group like that.
Did you use zip ties to attach the cable housing to the TT? You could just get a couple of these (in case you haven't already done so): http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dia-compe-dc-cable-clamp-silver/
