Bikes: Raleigh, Rudge, James 3spds., and a cast of many

This is just a trial balloon, because I can only deal locally, it's a busy time of year for everyone, and who knows if anyone is interested, but...

I need the bits to build up my nice '70s Raleigh Sport frame. It's bare, no cups even. If I could get a parts bike with a damaged frame it would be ideal.

I've got a not-perfect, not-too-desireable '70s Peugeot to trade.

So, to sum up, I need a bike that can give me Raleigh-threaded headset, bottom bracket assembly, cranks, wheels and all the little things that make a bike. The donor can be a three speed from Raleigh, Robin Hood, Dunelt, Rudge, Phillips, or any of the other bikes made by Raleigh with 26 tpi threading. Men's or women's frame shouldn't matter. I'd love for it to have fenders and a chainguard, and for the rear hub to work. I'd REALLY love it if it came with an intact Brooks saddle of any model, but that may be a bit much to ask.

What I have to trade is a nice looking blue Peugeot 10 speed. Paint is overall in good shape, with minor chips and scratches.
It almost certainly will need TLC. And a rider not much taller than my 5'7".
It has stem shifters, Stronglight TS cranks, Simplex FD, brakes are Weinmann 610 front, Peugeot rear, and a Selle Royal GTS saddle. The rear dropout is marked Y801 24195. There is no chrome on the frame, only the bottom of the forks.

I can't package, ship or deliver. Sorry. I'd rather not travel. Also, in the spirit of trading, cash isn't an option.

I'm in Monmouth County N.J.
For this to be worth your while, you probably should be here too.
