Do you have the bare cable running through those braze-ons? Why not run it loose directly to where the cable starts?

Well let us know how it turns out! My gut feeling is you could make them fit--but may have to modify the fender slightly? With a nearly perfect bike like your Sports though you're probably not too...

Presumably cazoo wants to use appropriate 26tpi fasteners, as the fender/rack eyelets are threaded. I don't have a source for you, but I do think that you have the right idea in finding 26tpi...

Yes, these bikes were sized according to the seat tube length. The common men's sizes were 21" and 23". The top tubes were the same for both sizes: 22".

I have a 24" Dl-1. I paid close to the amount your considering offering and am happy I bought it! Though it seemed like a lot at the time, I now ride it daily and love it to death.
