Beautiful piece of work. Is that Conisborough castle in the background?

Your bike's lovely Casamere but it does look like you've let the maintenance of your property slide a bit.

Looks great, nice job. I took a picture of my front so you can see how the cable goes into the front fender.
Regards,
Eric

Hi G-Man well spotted it sure is Conisborough Castle.

Thanks to you all with the advise re the front brake cable route. All sorted now and it looks a lot neater.

Casamere

I often drive by there on my way to Prestige Electroplating. I keep meaning to stop and take a proper look.

Small world or what? I lived in Conisbrough as a kid and went to Mexborough Grammar School. In fact G, if you're interested, I have a booklet 'Photographs of Old Conisbrough', produced by friends of mine, that I'll be happy to let you have if you wish (I have two copies).
