Perhaps the most endearing aspect of those brake cable guides is that he made them himself from automotive brake line tubing. I don't know what his shop was like when it was located elsewhere but when he was working in that old row house in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens (in NYC), the whole oporation was really "old world" in style.

This would have been in the early 1980s, when he made some improvements to my LeJeune tandem. At that time, his son was painting the frames and there was an apprentice who was a retired NYC policeman. Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
