I need parts help please....
Hi all, newbie here. I know most of you will be saying "get rid of that cheap ol' Huffy". Well here's the deal. I do a lot of flea marketing and I have been looking for a good looking "vintage" bicycle to put a basket on and hop from aisle to aisle quickly. I bought a really good condition 3 speed Huffy (I forget the model) but the shifter housing is broke, the part on the handlebar. It still shifts ok, just doesn't look the way I want it to. So here's my question.....Is there an online place I can buy vintage or repro parts? I looked on ebay but none there. Thanks for the help.

Since most , if not all, 3 speeds of the past were Sturmy-Archer e-bay should
have the parts if you can't find them elsewhere.

The OP really needs to identify the brand and get the correct shifter. They likely have a different amount of cable pull.
