The really inexpensive fix is to remove the bottom cup from the frame and reinstall it after rotating 90 degrees: works nicely! (if someone hasn't done it already.)

Looking for early 80s Trek 520 fork in Pewter Grey
 

Hi, folks. I've always wanted to build up a 520, and I just bought a bare frame 1983 model in pewter grey.

I don't have a matching fork. I understand Trek ran a lot of forks in this pewter grey in the early-to-mid 80s.

1" headset; steerer is 7". I'd prefer a fork with rack braze-ons and canti bosses, but I'm also fine if it doesn't have them.

Please help! I'm not yet allowed to post the URLs of my images, but I can get them to you somehow if you need them.

Need a 28 tooth UG cassette cog. I have a 28 HG that I could file down to work, but would prefer a UG cog if I can find one.


Have lots of cogs I can trade. And other stuffs.

My Klein is 31.8 but I would not put a regular 31.8 FD on it.

I think the 90's Kleins moved to 34.9 or so. Very thin ST's.
The "endless band" seems to grip without pressure points.

Klein seemed to think some of the parts specified were, uh, immortal.

Half fun, Half challenge, Half PITA.

FWIW, there was a generation of Shimano band clamps in that size around '87, I had a Deore DX/LX on an oversized Douglas mtn bike seat tube that was oddly oval (ovoid?) in section. When it broke, I went to a single chainring. It's not what you want but it's a option to look for just the same. Good luck.

Thanks all. I found one of those band derailleurs onthe auction site, but it's in bad condition. I'll keep my eyes open for one though.

Welcome GratefulEd- I don't readily have a fork but spotted this Spinner on CL. The seller often post bike parts. Its not Trek but might meet some of your requirements. I have a similar Spinner converted for an ATB road drop. Nice forks.

Also have an '87 520 Cirrus built up from an acquired frameset and that I greatly enjoy. Nothing on it is to factory spec.

Does anyone have (or have a lead on) a 1" Colnago Star carbon fork like so? I'm ISO :) Please message me if you do. Thanks!

Thanks for the lead. I have a fork that matches the build although it's a different color, and I'm thinking along your lines that if I can't find a paint-matched fork, I'll have the whole thing powder-coated and build up some sort of quasi-retro-looking town bike.

Just in case, ISO:

Rear bolt-on rack.
1-for eyelets bottom and "front."
2-can be painted to match the frame.
3-wooden shelf preferred

Axiom made one years ago, long since discontinued. Others exist.

Red Fenders / mudguards for 27" wheels
 

Looking for some 27" Fenders for a 1940s British lightweight road frame. Ideally some Bluemels or similar full length mudguards / fenders.

ISO: 600AX or Dura Ace AX brake hoods.

Send me a PM. I have a set of red Bleumels that I took off the '54 Hetchins that I sold not long ago. I was thinking of using them for an upcoming project, but I decided just last night that they would look out of place on a blue (with red accents) Viking path racer.

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow if you're interested.

ISO: Shimano 600 Tri-color front derailleur. Clamp on 28.6

Have: Three 6400 (7s) tri-color RD's and one 6401 RD (8s).

Don't ask me how I happen to have so many RD's without matching FD's.

Still hoping someone has a 26" MTB fork for trade. 1 1/8 steer tube approx 175 mm long. Any colour. Hopefully Tange, Ishiwata or...

Thanks !

Just checked the pile of old frames. Closest thing I have is a Scott Sandoa, orange, with a 150-ish threaded steerer.

Dave, if you still need this, I have one.

Thanks for looking! I already hit my local LBS who has tons of spare take off forks but nothing even close to what I need....

BF wan, you're my only hope !

Threaded? Still looking?

Threaded would be fine. I could use a threadless as well.

Thanks for the response ,,

Looking for either a complete single Suntour barcon or parts 12, 16, 17 and 18.

ISO:
Mediocre condition vintage leather saddle for my clunker Schwinn fixed gear.
Not necessarily Brooks brand and will consider all. Something older, long as its safe to ride. Scars, marring, tattery edges is even better. Black or brown. Prefer non-spring suspended. Narrow is good as well, the bike has a deep drop position.

This one is brutal and becoming unbearable, nor do I want to pull from my other bikes a nice condition saddle just for this clunker.

To trade: I have a mix of vintage road bike parts (60's 80's) and few vintage ATB parts. Also some new stock brake pads + few saddles and odd-lot vintage accessories stuff. Please ask plus will buy outright. Thank you

stems, bars, brake levers, calipers, shifters, derailleurs, pedals, etc..

Narhay,
I have the parts you seek. They are not pretty and you may have to dress the threads on #18.
PM me if interested.

ISO Shimano 36h rear hub 5500 with the blue and yellow 105 logo, used is ok but want an intact logo

NEED: a pair of brake caliper cable adjusters for Ultegra (or similar) dual-pivot calipers, ONLY need the actual (metal) barrels and the springs, I have the little plastic parts...and they don't HAVE to match the pic, as long as the shafts have the same threading (I think M6) and "flatted" on 2 sides.

HAVE: tons of parts, make a list of whatever you need that match the value of the barrels and I'll find you something!

EDIT: RobbieTunes says he has what I need, and only wants "whirled peas" in exchange, so I'm all SET! :)
