Looking for Scapin Pantographed parts
I have a 92 Scapin Atec frame. I'm hoping to build it with a Scapin pantographed parts if at all possible. Does anyone know where someone could get them?

ebay is your best bet, but you may have to be patient for some items. A more cost effective route may be to look for another complete panto'd scapin, regadless of size, and then flip the frame/wheels and any other unwanted parts. Again, that may take some patience, too.

Thanks Goucho. I bought a 3ttt Record Aero Vintage Scapin Pantographed Quill Stem 120mm from a Brit that set me back a cool $142. Ebay is the place, if you want to pay the price. The seller also has a set of brake levers at 120.00 Pounds! That's $200 additional to feed my obsession. Sometimes, I wish I didn't love bikes so much.

Panto can be scarce and expensive, but one thing you might use to your advantage: many of the small-sized early Scapin pieces just had the 3-open-circle "logo" and that would be a lot easier to fake if you want to make your own "panto'd" items.
Another is that Greg Softley was offering panto'd parts on ebay that he was making "new" cause he purchased the machine and was learning to master it...I haven't followed his progress, but maybe he'd even make-to-order...wouldn't hurt to ask him.

Wow, I never even considered that angle. My neighbor has a CNC machine shop. Thanks for the idea.
