My question is when was this first done and by whom? So far the only other "old" bike I have found on the Internet, with an internally routed brake cable, is a 1950s Olmo on a German web site. Just goes to show nothing is new - just reinvented! Mike Short, Austin TX --------------------------------- Mike- I can't answer your question exactly, but I have seen a 1946 Torpado with the internally routed cables. Why this appraoch seemed to disappear for 50 years before it became common again is beyond me. Whatever the reason, I happen to think the internal routing approach to be pretty nice. cheers
