Hey messenger chaps and chapettes,

Hope everyone is well and pulling in the big "end of financial year" dollars.

I need to tap into the great pool of knowledge that is the messenger community. I've just built up a Bianchi free-wheeling S/S for sale and have installed a lever that does both front and rear brakes. After some effort I've got both brakes set up with equal pull-up. Has anyone out there used or had experience with this type of braking? What kind of life span do you get before they require readjustment? They seem to loose tension quicker than normal, which is to be expected.

I also wanted to get an up-date on how Peter McDonald is going in Europe. I could try the Drapac Porsche website but this way I can get the inside running.

If Baden reads this, or if someone wants to pass on a message, do you still want the 'Poker' book?

Thanks again to all those who've offered support and encouragement to my fledgling business.

I look forward to any feedback re the above questions.

Keep the peace and ride safe.

Cheers!
Adrian
