Vista Frame

I have for trade a circa 1970's "Vista" road frame. This was an above average Japanese frame, with Shimano "SF" chromed rear dropouts (with derailler hanger), Tange "TIF" chromed front dropouts, and, I believe, Tange "9E" frame material (no sticker on bike, but Tange 9E inscribed on fork riser). It is black, long point lugs, and measures 57cm (actually more like 56 1/2) C-C, with 56cm toptube. Frame is in good condition, no major dings or dents, chrome in rear stays is very nice. Some rust spots under the top tube which I sanded out to make sure they were just surface rust (they were). The fork is another story. While the chrome is in fairly good condition, there is sign of road rash on the right side fork. Checking straigtness, it is evident the fork has been "tweeked", such that the left fork prong is farther forward than the right side fork prong. This is what probably caused the LBS where I got it from to throw it in the trash! I don't see why the fork could not be straightened, if thats what you wanted to to. Seems like this frame would make a good fixie. Pics available on request.

What I am interested in for trade on this would be:

NOS or excellent Campy NR rear derailler Hanger bolt
NOS or excellent Campy NR rear derailler pullery cage (just the outer one, not the one actually attached to the derailler body
NOS Campy NR rear derailler pulleys, either black or gray
Anything Colnago pantographed or otherwise marked (seats, chainrings, seatposts (27.2), etc
Raleigh Competition forks (Huret dropouts)

Realize also that the shipping cost of this frame should enter into the trade discussion!

If you have one of the above items, but are not interested in this frame, let me know anyway, I've got a lot of other stuff I may be willing to trade out of !! thanks - ew
