Yeah, my cake-maker daughter was impressed by that. She said that bikes are not easy to do.

congrats & Happy BD to ya! sweet looking cake.

not advocating breaking any import laws but maybe somebody might be willing to buy items here & ship directly to you? I'd offer but I'm way up North by Canada...
Thanks, I have relatives over there, they are cytisens and live in Texas and my cousin and I are good friends, us Fernandez are everywhere, anotherone in Spain found a brake caliper, but the effort of the hunt and the work to make my own project it's sweeter. It might take a few extra months but I'll make it!!!

I justo recived Randakk's 4 línea brake kit, i'm so exited all my atemts to bleed the brakes or fix the mushiness I felt where in vain. I realized that the hose was micro perforated and I could never make it work this way.
Today I'm installing this presious new set!
Thank you.

Ok I messed it up, I broke the threads and can't remove the old hose clamp... I was so close, so close.

Looking for a used or new preplasement please.

It does not need to be pretty just work.
