latest purchase is 12 different adapters for fitting the brakes as I have no real idea what I need, so will send back unneeded ones!
I believe so. The compatibility chart is a bit weird for that one, claiming it only matches with the new R3030 chainset, but SJS think it'll work for a different old-pull FD so I'd agree with them.
@mcshroom is this any good? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-sora-r3030-9-speed-band-on-front-mech/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=563444&kpid=563444&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mckv|sTqkMUrxf_dc|mcrid|295292317327|mkw||mmt||mrd|563444uk|mslid||&mkwid=sTqkMUrxf_dc&pcrid=295292317327&prd=563444uk&pgrid=58852352866&ptaid=pla-522345553401
Yes, I meant 28.6mm..... 31.8 and 34.something are also common.28.6mm you mean? I guess so, this seems pretty standard, and it doesn't have a braze on.....
I have a Dawes Horizon from the same year. Lovely touring bikes, and I think 2012 was probably about the best looking paint schemes Dawes ever did for their touring bike rangeI have a Dawes Galaxy 2012 model, which I love to ride.
This Ridgeback Panorama Deluxe frame looks great, and it's <£400 for a Reynolds 853 frame: -

If I didn't already have my lovely Dawes Horizon I'd be tempted.
