I was lucky to get in possession of a 49cm Le Tour Mixte. I figured since my girlfriend just recently got a new job, new place, graduated from college and her birthday was coming up, I figured I should get her something big. Pink is her favorite color and she enjoys biking. So I set off building her a bike. Getting most of the parts together I find myself with a few issues. 1. Big issue the brakes seem like they are only a few centimeters off.

The rear brake is a center-pull and needs a longer straddle cable to clear the seat tube. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mannyacosta/4544523125/in/set-72157623789349209/ So with the first issue I go to the ROB group for some answers. Any ideas of making this work? It's SOOO close to fitting. Or should I just bite the bullet and look for brakes that fit? and about the second issue. Anyone have any ideas and where I can find one? I might check out my local place, Cycle of Change, but never guaranteed that I can find the part there. Thanks in advance! Hopefully I can get this worked out. -Manny "Bikes aren't always easy" Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
