Tthat's a beautiful bike; is that a custom paint job? It's purdy as a Zunow!

Who? You mean,
me? Are my obscure questions really
that annoying?
If you must know, the rack in question is a pre-1980, Bridgestone-issued demi-porteur rack (a lot of hyphens in there, no?). They were kinda unique, like a cross between the Soma demi-porteur & a TA mini-rack. That said, I'm more interested in the odd little parts you guys are looking for; like [MENTION=190941]jimmuller[/MENTION]'s simplex derailleur, it's really fascinating to read.
Otherwise, I've been keeping my eyes open for a pair of original SunTour DT cable adjusters. I used to have a set of these on my old RB-2 & they got sold with the bike; I knew they were different at the time, but had I known I'd never see another pair for less than $50, I'd have kept them.
