Took 11 extra links. This is on a 51 cm. The cables were all long enough, but I could see on the bigger models, and especially with the 64cm Clems, holy smokes! Also, I went to setup the front canti brakes and whoops! No cable stop. I should have asked when I ordered if they could put on on. I forgot they have these setup for V-brakes. Looks like the bike will have a nice rusty Dia-Compe cable stop on the headset! Aren't parts bins great?
