I've heard of upgrading components, but upgrading a frame is quite a novel concept.

If you'll notice I'm stepping down in frame size. 60cm is at the absolute largest I can fit, plus I'd like to get a frame with a few more braze-ons for fenders and such.

I have a 57cm Miyata 210 - but that's probably heavier than what you're looking for.

I am looking for a Weinmann concave rim in 700C.
I would like a 40 hole but would take a 36 hole.

ISO WTB:

Mavic 28h 500 series (501?) sealed bearing front hub.

28h grey anodized 700c clincher rim

got the complete wheel? Even better.

Looking for a set of black anodized hubs for my Cannondale Black Lightning. They don't need to be the original Sansin. Nos is prefered for a fresh wheel build. Not overly concerned with spoke count but would prefer 32F/36R. Anybody? I know it's a long shot.

WTB: Schwinn Super Sport frame and fork (or just frame), fillet brazed, 22 or 23". Any color, any condition (as long as it isn't completely rusted through).

WTB: Rear brake cable stop for an older raleigh with "arc'd rear brake bridge ". Mine fell off due to plain stupidity and I have very little chance of finding it.
Edit: Got one coming in the mail, Thanks!

Want: Brooks b67, either black or honey is ok. Decent or better condition.

I'm currently looking for a frameset! So far, all I've really narrowed it down to is anything Asian or produced in Asia (Miyata? Shogun? Nishiki? Weren't mid-range Bianchis Japanese-made?), 48-50cm, and lugged, with better-than-hi-ten tubing. Bonus points for good condition- nice chrome, paint, etc. I will be toying with an early-90s Campy group on it, possibly, depending on how a deal I have locally works out. If you have anything (or know anyone with anything and could help pack/ship!) along these lines I would really like to hear from you.

EDIT: Oh, also, I'm looking for a traditional-geometry bike, so no mixtes. No offense to the mixte-lovers, it just doesn't do it for me.

I posted the same request a few months back. Someone was able to give me one. In that I have
two old Raleigh frames. One is not enough. Yellow Jersey claims to have replacements. I got
two for a price. They are shorter and slightly narrower then the originals. I also got a pointer to
someone in the UK that is supposed to have a line of old NOS parts. He was slow to respond so I
didn't followed through and never found if he actually has these.

And if they have threading on them, you might find that they're the barrel adjusters from a Huret Alivit RD, which happen to work perfectly. You might have to hunt for just the right Alivit though - not sure which came first, but there also exists a variant with a far larger barrel (and spring) that will most certainly NOT work for your application.

In addition to the Weinmann concave 700C rim I am also looking for some type of period appropriate brake levers for the 81' Peugeot PX something. I would guess Weinmann or Mafac would be suitable.

Searching again. sigh. ISO a Mafac Competition (like racers) adjuster part. It's not the part that touches the cable housing. It looks to be a fixed double ended insert that screws into the lever body. The cable adjuster then screws onto this piece and holds the housing straight(and adjusts the brakes of course). Looks like a hollow threaded tube with a nut in the middle. I could post a pic, but I am afraid to rip my hoods which are nearly immaculate. Can anyone help?,,,,BD

Want:

Sugino VP driveside crankarm, 170mm. I'm unsure of the BCD, I think it's 120 -- weren't all Sugino cranks from the mid-80s (post pantographing) 120 BCD?

Want:

Seven spd. 13-32 or 13-34 freewheel in good condition, not megarange, at a reasonable price.

13,15,17,20,24 28,32 would be great as would 13, 15, 17, 20, 24, 28, 34.

Want:
campagnolo long horizontal dropouts. a set, or only the right. good condition.

I bought a 7spd ultra 13-32 on ebay for $34. I believe he has more.

IIRC, the BCD of the Sugino VP is 130mm. There was a transition in the mid-80s from is a BCD of 144mm to 130mm in Japanese made cranks; so if it was from the early 80s almost certainly a 144mm BCD, if late 80s, then 130mm BCD...mid 80s could be either.

I'm thinking it would be 130mm

ISO/WTB:

62cm or above, (ideally 63 or 64cm) lugged track frame and forks.
I have been searching for a looonnngg time...please someone tell me they have something!

ISO/WTB: Early 80's SunTour Superbe brake lever hoods. Color not important, condition in good or better please. Will even take any that are a very good match. The Weinnman's that I have aren't quite as close to a fit as I'd prefer.

want: cantilever brakes!

Wanted for a mid-70's British "club racer" build. Let me know if I am missing anything!

-SA 3 or 4 speed hub (first choice is 4-speed). Laced to an alloy wheel would be a plus, as would it being set up for 125 mm spacing. Dyno hub ok.
-Front dyno hub in working order. Laced to an alloy wheel is a plus.
-25.0 mm seat post (non-butted 531 frame)
-Leather saddle
-Appropriate single ring crankset to use with the SA Hub. 167mm bottom bracket shell.
-Source for white fenders

Also, the brakes on my 20" wheeled Chiorda folding bike are broken/flimsy. I'd be interested in some Raleigh 20 brake calipers if anyone has them. They should fit mine probably, yes?

All parts will be well loved, I promise! Let me know what you have, and I'll see if it fits my budget

i got a set of plastic planet bike fenders and used krylon's spray paint for plastic. it seems to be doing pretty ok.
