Sure, but be sure that these frames are made of extremely thin alloy tubes with weird shapes. Many frames already suffered from splits around the welds - just because the welds had been smoothed out extremely and this hadn´t a positive effect on the durability at all. Müsing did this also and created a hell of problems with it. Principia went right, because they added filler onto the welds to create a smooth look. A Hooker is a trophy and should be ridden with a hell of care and respect. It´s neither a daily driver nor a bike for intensive competition. Add it to the wall and ride it 3-4 times a year when the sun is shining and you are keen for a super stiff and also bumpy ride an iconic bike.

A Hooker frame needs Hooker brakes... Campy Delta won´t fit under the bb bracket - too big. Same to Dura Ace ax. Tririg could do the job, but they´re everything but periodically correct...
In general, if you want to run the front and rear brake cables through the stem, you MUST use Hooker brakes. If you change the stem (brrrr...), you´re able to use standard front brake and maybe Tririg rear brake after intensive mods... The Hooker brakes work different to all other Delta brakes, because they don´t require cable stop. The cable runs to them without any housing...
The frame kit always came incl. the brakes - with a good reason.
Here´s a picture of a factory fresh Cat. 1 frame kit.

Well...i doubt the truth regarding this offer. First, the pictures show exactly the frame kit which i had bought many months ago. I build the bike shown in the pedalroom-link - so i am not talking bs. Second, 222 GBP are a joke and not a reasonable price. Such frame kits easily go for nearly 2000 US$ on ebay.com...
I would recommend a certain kind of attention.
Cheers,
Sebastian
