Was there originally a ferrule that fit into the frame openings? Secondly, the hole for routing the cable is so small that I'm not sure how I'll get it routed properly. Does anyone have any experience with this frame and routing? Thanks in advance!

The housing ends should just fit into the metal tubes at each end of the top tube. Feed the wire in and it "should" come right out the other side.   Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:56 pm dmcdam Joined: 14 Mar 2012 Posts: 2 Thank you - wasn't sure if there was a metal ferrule insert into the frame or not. I'll go on blind faith that there is a 'tube' inside the top tube strictly for the cable and hope for the best! 1985 Gitane Defi     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Vintage Gitane You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Gitane USA----------------Vintage GitaneGitane RacingModern GitanePro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....Owner Gallery   Powered by phpBB © 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed for Trushkin.net | Themes Database.
