3 speed bikes; ReBrit Cycling [Rebrit.com], Yellow Jersey [yellowjersey.org/] and Budget Bicycle Center [bbcbikes on e-Bay]?"
The three shops are all pretty close to each other. They may be able to help you get what you need, including a matching front fender.
Sorry, did I miss that in the ISO/WTB thread? Thank you for calling it to my attention.
In my fender hunt I put emails out to my "usual suspects" in Madison which include YJ, Budget, CL, and a few individual C&V folks I know. In fact my
Bride of Frankenstein bike in Kurt's recent
Raleigh SN thread came from someone at Budget.
Kurt has kindly agreed to send me a green AMF/Herc front fender he has (but not before I'd found the Bride of Frankenstein ... so she will be a parts bike and/or maybe I'll fix her up for my daughter someday)
I was not aware of ReBrit and I'm glad to know there is someone passionate and expert about restoring English 3-speeds right here in Madison. I will need to get to know to him. Thanks for the referral!
