Cable Guides for the Teledyne

Bought these very cool Shimano Dura Ace cable guides at the Whittier Bicycle Swap Meet.  They turned out to be too small for the Teledyne (which uses larger than standard diameter tubes).  The guy I bought them from said I could get my money back if they don't fit (he's there every month), but I think I'm going to keep them.  They're very cool and probably pretty rare...

Doesn't fit.  The "nut" portion of the clamp has two flat sides.  The hope in the metal guide has matching shape so that the nut doesn't turn in the hole.  Nice attention to detail...

At the same swap meet, I bought a set of three of these cable housing guides.  They are marked "TEKTRO."  Went to their website (Taiwan based company) and they make & sell these currently.

Perfect fit on the Teledyne.  They have the vintage look also.

Shimano Ultegra BR-6700 Brakes for the Teledyne

Bought these used brakes at the Whittier Bicycle Swap Meet.  They appear to be complete and lightly used, except they are missing the adjusters that go at the top of the arm sticking up in the picture.

The longer mounting stud on the left brake is for the front brake.  It goes through the fork so it needs to be longer.

Close-up of where the adjuster goes...  From the bottom (in this picture) and from the top (next picture).

This picture shows the brake pads.  They are slid into place from one end.  The front and rear brakes are setup opposite to each other so that the force from the braking will push the pads into the closed end.  This also makes it obvious which is the front and which is the rear brake...

I just test fitted the front brake on the fork to see if there's any fit issues.  There doesn't appear to be any problems.

Cleaned the brakes.  They look pretty nice once cleaned.  Not perfect but looks almost new.  The satin finish on these brakes match the satin raw finish on the titanium frame...  Looks really nice. 

Found this picture of what the adjuster looks like...  They're available for purchase on Amazon but they would cost more than what I paid for the brakes!  Will have to find a cheaper alternative...
