Thanks all for the kind responses! It’s such a smooth ride that I’m always
looking for excuses to hop on. It’s also so unexpectedly speedy and really
zips when you want it to. Hope to join some local rides soon.
Marty and John – David is correct and that it just a shadow from the
pedals. Sorry
Thanks, Eric, that’s a Shimano 135 degree noodle, found at Nashbar. I added
the small bit of clear tubing as chafe-prevention.

Looking good, Matthew! I like the multi-colored zip ties. Those brass caps,
are they from Blue Lug? I've also seen some from Moné. I'm nuts for brass
but at $20/cap I'm too afraid to lose one.

that two noodles in
That is fantastic looking! I hope to see it soon on a group ride or on the
trail.

Guys, I'm pretty sure that is just a shadow from the raised pedal/crank.
(John - Platys, Rosco or otherwise, are designed for V-brakes and don't
have built-in cable hangers for cantis.)
Matthew - welcome to the Platypus club! Great build and very nice light for
the photos. Looking forward to
Very nice build Matthew,
I suppose that's why it was in the garage sale and the need for the
creative cable hanger. Looks like a BMX cross bar clamp around the seat
post (something I would do).

Really nice, thoughtful build Matthew, and I like the color on this bike.
Classic Riv! Funky-cool rear brake cable hanger you got there! Curious
about the area on the seat tube above the front derailer. Industrial
accident?
