Matrix Rim
 

Checked the rim. Unfortunately it is a Matrix ISO - C, not C-II (guess you could call it a C-1?), NOS. I remember now why I have it. I had a C - II and got this one off ebay, thinking it was same, but not quite, as a match (same as you are doing?) I luckily then found a NOS C-II soon after, so got that, then built them up for my daughters bike. In any case, the difference between the "C" and "C-II" Matrix rims is very slight, probably not discernible at a distance of several feet (looking at the profile of the rim), but the decals are different. Matrix ISO C rims have almost black decals, with no red. The C-II, as I recall, have some red in the decals. Other than that, the profile of the rim is quite similar, I suppose the C-II have a slightly sharper "V" than the plain C. Let me know if you are interested or need more info. I could take a pic. ew

Schwinn Paramount: $350 + sundries
Campagnolo NR shifters: $40
Wiring up the front derailer cable only to find the mounting (not the bolt) was stripped by some gorilla of a mechanic: Priceless.

That said - I'm looking for a clamp-on pre-CSPC NR FD (no holes, globe logo).

EDIT: Cannibalized the NR FD off my Trek 610, took care of the problem. Had a spare SR FD for the 610.

Kurt - Have you thought about just replacing that little arm?

I'm in need of some Campy odds 'n ends, mostly C-Rec stuff.

Record Delta Replacement Parts:
3mm E-clips
5 or 6mm flange nut that holds the guts to the caliper body (pictured here)

I also need hex-head toeclip bolts for a Record C-180 pedal, and the rear 4-bolt plate (also pictured)

I have no idea where to even start looking for these things. Does anyone know of a good source?

I found Allen screws that fit my Shimano 600 pedals at Ace Hardware. The thread pitch isn't exact but they work and don't get bound up.

Indeed I have, but I'm not sure where to source the replacement rivet that holds it to the cage.

P.S.: I realized that I had an identical piece on my Trek 610, so I ended up cannibalizing the 610 for that FD. I put an SR in its place which seems to "fit."

I was looking for those. are they machine screws with beveled caps do they hold well?

Bike
 

Hello, I am a 22 yo recent college graduate. I am looking for a CUTE vintage bike that will get me to the metro and around the streets of DC. I want something kind of unique, CURVY, feminine, in pink, purple or blue. I really like the Stingrays but they are too small (I'm 5'2 and wear heels often). I found the perfect bike yesterday on Craigslist, a pink Miyata Session, but was 20 minutes too late to being the first to write. I would love a bike that is basket, bell, rack and/or light compatable. Please help!

They're stainless, metric, button top, 2.5mm Allen screws. For my pedals the M4 (width) / .70 (pitch) / 8 (length) screws fit best. I also put a washer between the screw and the clip since I don't have the cleat either. No problems so far.

Those I've seen - water bottle cage bolts work too, but what I'm talking about are aluminum with a polished convex hex cap (not an allen head, sorry for the confusion). I'll look for some in the measurements you specified, though.

There is also a chain called Fastenal which has about any kind of screw, allen head, set screw, etc you can think of. If there's no Fastenal near you, contact a machine shop and ask where they get their specialty bolts. Often the "counter guy" or gal can look at your object and get exactly what you want.

ISO - campagnolo n.record shifter clamp band. Have (at least) one set of levers and washers and such, need the band what ever else to put on a bike w/o brazed on bosses.

There were just some Delta brakes on eBay for parts.

Good luck, Jon. I asked around for this part for months - even said I'd consider the whole assembly. Nothing. Ended up spending $40 (that's with shipping) to get one off of eBay. Two years ago, you could get one for $20 shipped or less :mad:

P.S.: I do have a so-so condition band with levers and hardware from a '61 Record group.

-Kurt

WTB: Simplex Prestige or Criterium FD. You can probably guess why I need it. User grade.

Want:

Shimano Deore XT cantilever brakes, br-mc70. Need two pairs. Don't have to be in pristine condition.

-OR-

Dia-Compe NGC 982 cantilever brakes. Two pairs. Don't have to be in pristine condition.

I'm looking for a Raleigh bronze green chain guard with the two tabs corresponding to the tabs on the down and seat tubes. This is for a 1967 Raleigh Sprite SA 5-speed. Any condition will do.

Thanks,

Neal

Neal, I have a Sports guard, I believe. Pretty tattered though. I'll check the supply provided Ike doesn't spoil the plans.

-Kurt

Thanks for checking, Kurt, and best of luck battening down for Ike.

I need a brake lever for an early Schwinn 3-speed, with mounting hardware. My lever is fine, but the mounting screw/nut are stripped. Willing to paypal or trade. PM me for most reliable communication.

I have a Campy record front derailleur that has the chrome coming off the cage. Is it possible to find a replacement cage?

I thought I had a DT shifter bracket, but apparently I am using it on my touring bike. If I find a replacement, I'll contact whoever it was up-thread that needed that.

I found 2 campy brake cable clamps, still looking for the 3rd.

Looking For:

170mm TA Pro 5 Vis crankarms
126mm 32 or 36h older phil road hubs, threaded for freewheel.

Have:

Campy NR DT shifters
Band On Simplex Retrofriction in Black (only says simplex on side, not on lever, but classic "cutout" design)
NR thin wall cups
Lots of other stuff

Need
Nitto Technomic (or similar) in a 60-80mm *I have a 120 to trade
Ergo bars for a 26mm clamp 42cm
8 or 9 x 3 brifters, shimano
downtube cable stops for brifters
