Just finished this rebuild this morning for my boy (its still SS!). It was a pink Huffy that had decals all over. Striped the frame and repainted. New tires, new chain. He's happy.

I am thinking is it possible splitting the cable into 2/combining 2 cables so that you can use both levers for front brake

if i remember, problem solvers has a gizmo that allows two levers to operate a single brake.
my brake levers are spring loaded so the unused one does not rattle around and stays quiet during a ride.
