So I decided to see what was in the web covered old bike parts box in the garage. Found some interesting parts for the touring bike. :thumb:
What do you guys think:
Shimano XT M735 Front and Rear Derailleurs in very good condition (did a search and they are early 90's 7 sp)
SunTour XC Pro Crankset (170) in average condition. Rings in good shape 42, 32, 20(!). Should be compatible with the XT, right? Found a Shimano LX 550 (175) Crankset, but prefer the 170.
Dia Compe SS7 Brake Levers (search says these rocked back in the day)
Dia Compe 987 Cantilever Brakes (ditto)
I think there are some old Shimano 600 downtube shifters somewhere...
Not for this bike but found a nice SunTour Superbe Rear Der too...:p
I can use this stuff without problems, right? Guess I gotta check the Front Der's attachment...:twitchy:
Thanks for enjoying my 'finds' with me...
