Yeah, I'll take a close look at Shwinn approved if I can't find genuine Maillard/Normandy.

That's definitely an option, but I'm not too keen on collecting large amounts of bike parts that I'll probably never use and need to dispose of again. My modus operandi for parts I need is more "surgical".

Yes it is. I used the bike only sporadically between the early 80's and last year; and I've been working my way through the maintenance items as time permits. I actually bought a spare wheelset last year to take the original wheelset off the "front lines", so to speak I (not to mention two complete "spare" bikes - goint on 3!).
