I actually have a regular Sierra, but it's a little too big and to be honest I really don't like it that much. My Mongoose would work but it weighs 41 pounds with nothing but an alloy rack and regular trunk bag!

Looking for a quadrant shifter for a Sturmey Archer 3-spd.

Help! New 7 speed HGs are on the way! I want to save the old freewheels so need a 2 prong tool for pre-'82 Shimano Uniglides... or useful suggestions for getting the old freewheels off without destroying them.

Thanks!
Dave

Getting ready to bite the bullet myself. Wish the Suntour 2 prong would work, because I already have one of those, but it won't.

Thanks! BTW... you better check your Cart before checking out. You gave me a direct link to your account and I was adding to your already large order. I just added two freewheel tools to the bottom of your list before backing out.

Update: I fixed your cart for you then deleted your link in my reply above. You might want to edit your link too.

(thanks mod)

THIS is what you guys are after.

Hey Raverson - you want I should add it to your shopping cart?

I went with THIS one. Did I screw up?

Edit: For $39 I'll make the $11.50 one I ordered work thankyouverymuch.

ooops!

Add away, but I'll ream you on shipping!

Thanks Mr. Mod!

I need a pivot bolt (plus washer and nut, pictured here as part #4 on the top diagram) for a Suntour Cyclone rear derailleur. So the pivot bolt assembly. I don't need a claw or a bolt to secure the derailluer to the claw, just all the parts to the pivot bolt assembly itself.

^ might have one, but I won't be able to check until tomorrow or sunday. If I do, I know it's suntour, but probably not cyclone. Should work though. I'll let you know.

Clarification: It's odd for some reason. The part of the derailleur the bolt fits through is 18mm wide. the arx and GT derailleurs I have have the same diameter bolt but they're not long enough because that part is about 10mm on them.

So it seems to be from a year when the bolt was longer.

^ I'll bow out then, since I am about 99% sure mine is from a V GT

I am looking for a top race screw. That is what my LBS called it. It is the top most race on an old steel headset.
Here's the tricky part:
It is for a 70's Triumph. As I understand it Raleigh made Triumph bicycles. So I am also assuming that this part would have the same threading pitch as a Raleigh Record from the same era.
I would also go for an entire headset if someone had that.
PM me if you need more details, which is very possible.
Thanks.

Brian, I have a few of those Raleigh-specific top headset races. Not mint, but quite nice. Give me a holler/PM if you're interested.

Take care,

I need one plastic wingnut for a Simplex Quick release. I'm willing to buy the whole QR just to get the wingnut. Got a hoplessly rusty one?

Plastic wingnut - is it an actual wingnut, or a small, plastic, domed nut with a very small wing on either end of it?

Still looking for Cinelli 64 bar to complete my '79 Trek 530 build. I'd prefer as wide as possible, with NO grooves. Used with some wear is fine, but I'd like something presentable.

I have a 64-42 bar with single grooves if you want to trade. It's in okay shape (I've stripped the annodized center shim, but it needs a better polish than I've given it. There's also a set of razor cuts from where a previous owner removed the tape).

Here's what I'm talking about:

What you're describing sounds more like the Maillard/Atom type.

You're right. Chalk up another brain fart up for me.

WTB:

*Pair of 36h polished, box-section aluminum 700Cs, Rigida, Ambrosio, Araya, Mavic or similar OK. Spoke eyelets a plus. Been looking for these to get my '61 Paramount back on the road - turned out I had bulged-bead rims on it - rear tire blew off.

*One (or two) Rigida polished 27"/630mm rims w/spoke eyelets - I have a flat spot on one of the original Rigidas on my '81 Trek. Would consider a pair of nice vintage, polished Mavics GOT EM

*One hard-anodized (dark grey) 32h rim - Mavic, or any other. I've got a mis-matched wheelset on my '87 Basso, and would like to make it a set, for a change.

-Kurt

Kurt, I have a set of Arayas (silver but not polished) and Weinmann Concaves (with eyelets) both 700c. Let me know if these interest you.

I'm looking for a 27" front wheel that I might possibly buy, but it needs to be really cheap. If anyone has an old one (that's preferably already trued) laying around, please send me a PM

I'm looking for an early to mid '80s Record/Super Record or C-Record headset in excellent condition for my Colnago Arabesque restoration.

Please email me direct- "krr58 at aol dot com" if you can help, thanks.

Does it have to be stainless spoked?

Looking for an old school Shogun headbadge. Condition of finish not too critical, just as long as it's not dented up real bad, scraped, or otherwise mangled. You can't miss one if you ever see it in person. Looks like a Samurai helmet, and I think it has a couple of swords crossed underneath. Sculpted too, so very distinctive. I found a pic a week or two ago, but they wanted $25-$30, and cannot seem to find it now anyway. If you've got one you'll let go cheap, lemme know,,,,BD

I guess I was imagining the swords, but what a cool headbadge regardless, EH!?

I honestly don't know the difference, I'm still getting used to this whole bike-fixing-up business but I would say it probably doesn't have to be. I picked up an old Concord road bike beater to ride around campus this year, and while trying to true the wheel I managed to strip just about all the nipples and screws. They wouldn't tolerate any tiny bit of force and pretty much flaked apart when I tried to turn them. I'm pretty sure they were the stock wheels, and probably the first time the spokes had been tweaked. But at this point I'll take whatever I can get for fairly cheap.

BTW, just to clarify, I'm needing a rim that 27" tires will fit on, it should be around 25.5" in actual diameter. I'm sure it's probably referred to as a 27" wheel but I just wanted to make sure
