Hey all,
I picked up a 1988 Davidson Discovery over the weekend that I plan to ride in Eroica CA. I missed the "soft" year cutoff by one (they suggest 1987 or older) but I think it's fine, but I do want to do some component swapping. Anybody have any of this stuff sitting around?
- Pedals with clips/straps
- Downtube friction shifters. I'd happily trade the barcons, but the left one is missing a piece (but still works normally)
- Non-aero brake levers. I could trade the Tri Color levers that are on it now
- Silver handlebar in 42cm or 44cm. I'd be happy to trade the one on it now
- The crankset is a half-step + granny...not my thing, I'd like to find something more standard
- Brooks B17 narrow, B17, or Pro (or something comparable) with copper rivets and some patina
- This thing needs some tan wall tires. Compass or similar in 700x28 or 700x30 would be nice
- A more classic looking rear derailleur that can handle that 11-32 8 speed cassette.
