Shimano105 late 80's-early 90's, Need Help
I removed my front chainring (42) and the 53 and need to replace the chainrings. This bike is used in the early spring due to the weather. I would like to know if anyone has any info on where I could purchase new chainrings and hopefully the spacing will be the same. I would like to make the inner a 39 tooth since the bike is an old ALAN frame with a 6 sprocket freewheel. I also have to buy a new derailler pulley wheel, chain, and some cables. Any recommendations on purchases is greatly appreciated.
thanks
thanks

you can pick up Biopace II chainrings on eBay for $10 each or so.
130mm BCD for the 105 crank if I'm not mistaken. Easily measured to be sure.
As for cables, chain etc, Nashbar has generics pretty cheap.

Aebike, JensonUsa and similar have tons of bike parts.
Check the chainrings by Sugino.

Don't forget to measure the Chainring BCD first:

Just ride.
Second GrassWolfs advice. Biopace or not, be sure to check the BCD before purchasing.

How did you fit Campy chainrings (135 mm bcd) to a Shimano crank (130 mm bcd)?

If it was 42 and 53 tooth rings, I'm almost certain it was 130bcd. Yes you can use a 39. It does not have to be biospace.
