I'm looking for,

A Maillard Helicomatic lock ring. and maybe the removal tool if I can find a used one.
Bought a nice wheelset for my Blue P8 Peugeot beater project.. the Helio is the only thing holding me up.

Looking for a set of early to mid 70's big knob Schwinn shifters with good smooth chrome. These have a much larger knob than a Conti style, and the middles curve inwards at the center of the ends. Here's a pic to confirm the style.,,,,BD

Lemme know! thanks!

I think I've mostly seen the more common one, but I'll check.

Cool, let me know!,,,,BD

Looking for no pits if possible. With these levers they're either perfect or pitted. I've hardly ever seen
them in any other condition.

Well both my bike have the common one, but my bike kitchen has to have some of the schwinn levers

Folks, this is NOT the thread to discuss
components, ebay prices, differences between components etc.
Just post what you want or are searching for.
If you have what someone is searching for respond in PM.
I really don't want to shut this type of thread down again, but will
do so if I want to.

Geez, didn't know. I'm for sure not posting here anymore, lol.,,,,BD

Brown brake cable housing. Unlined or lined 5mm

cyclone left hand crank to match this:

Good luck. Why don't you just go down to Pep Boys and get a spray can of Dupli-Color vinyl paint for car interiors. Last time I needed brown housings for a Motobecane that's what I did and it worked like a champ.

Need: Metallic blue or silver cable housing.

-Kurt

How bout obnoxious blue?

Nope. Medium to dark metallic blue to match my Raleigh Super Course.

Can also use a roll of Fi'z'ik handlebar tape in silver.

-Kurt

Sent you a PM

An ITM stem like this one:



100-110mm.

Even if you don't have one to part with, just PM me to let me know that you have one yourself. I've yet to find another identical (or near identical, for that matter) to it, to the point that I've come to wonder if they're common at all. Should be...nothing keeping it from being common...

-Kurt

Want:

Suntour XC-9000 long cage RD
One nice Suntour racheting barcon (with older Suntour logo on shifter body, preferably)
Nice cantiliver brake arms for an '80s touring bike ('84 Raleigh Alyeska). It currently has some crappy Dia-Compes on it that are a royal pain to adjust.

-Kurt

As an update,
Thanks to Rob and Kurt, my Helico parts have been located.

Thanks guys, and thanks to the forum.

Seeking:
Profile quill type road stem 22.2 90 degree or 17 degree rise 100mm extension. If you have one please PM me. I'm trying to build a mid 90's bike back to original. Thanks.

I'm looking for a classic 9-speed wheelset with cassette. Let me know what you've got and we'll talk prices.

WTB: New 1" threadless steel fork
For a retro project I'm working on. Lugged preferably. Any suggestions or links?

Thanks

Campagnolo C-Record style seatpost in 27.2, doesn't have to be the Record but most any of the aero design posts in decent shape. I'll likely give it a good long polish if needed. Been wanting a new post for my Gazelle for a while now and the Campy post seems like a pretty darned good pick.

WTB: Set of Philippe handlebars for a early '70's Motobecane Grand Record...

I've been asking this for months - I know SOMEONE has to have one sitting about:

WTB: GENERIC OR GUERCIOTTI 700C CHROME FORK, 8-3/4" steer tube minimum length (measured with crown race removed), threaded (Italian a plus, but English OK), and with curved blades - no straight blade nonsense!

I've asked in For Trade, I've asked in Want To Buy, I've asked at the CR list, with no luck.

If you have one, PLEASE PM or email.

-Kurt

WTB,
Quality set of Touring racks, Front and rear. Vintage would be nice.

Suntour Superbe 1st Gen left side crank, 170mm. Doesn't need to be perfect as the drive side is not perfect.
