Well I found a trade for my mixte length cable that should work just fine, but struck out on getting a correct front brake mounting bolt (seller sent me one from a Racer). Anybody have a correct Competition/2000 front brake mounting bolt? It has a smooth round head and is keyed so it won't rotate in the mounting arch. Thanks again :^)
