Well I for one have an original GB stem on my '65 Viking that has a hole for the front brake cable to pass through. As far as I know this is a standard 'factory original' part. Honest. As for the other things about this bike, I'd really like to see closer, bigger pics. Not that it really matters as this is another "will ship to the United States only" seller.
