Yeah, you’ll have a challenge with cables for that rear

I see you’re running V brake. If you had U brake you could probably fashion up a dual cable setup from the bottom gyro back. Would need cable stops on the frame somewhere but could be an option

Look up dual cable London mods
Thanks for the info. I'll see what I can make work. No trouble to add cable stops.
 
Fitted up an old chain so I could give it a short test ride. So much fun. Though some brakes would be rather handy

Though I still haven't ruled out cutting the v brake posts off and going with some old school calipers.
 
Cut off the old cable in the gyro, drill a new hole, then dropped in an old shifter cable. Not ideal, but will get me going until I get a new cable set.

Polished up the levers and fitted em up with some red grips.

Installed all the brake hardware and tuned it up.
