I'm still desperately hoping to find a set of the old Velo Orange straddle cable hangers.
I don't like the newer Gran Compe version nearly as much. The Compass Rene Herse hangers are lovely, but I do prefer the round curves of the old VO ones. Shame VO has no plans to make them again.

Oh, and the Mt. Whitney that the original Eclipse rack is slated for Fat Franks, and the rear support has a tapered section that may limit my tire/fender clearance. It may go on a different bike now, but I'm excited to have everything!

I'm taking the one off my Cannondale, spending 5 minutes at work cadding it out and getting a couple 3D printed. Damn things are like hens teeth.

Took me quite a while to find a TA Pro 5 Vis ring with bashguard, especially if you still want to use it as a triple.
Other notable rarities, Mafac Racer vertical mount and Titan Luxe stem.
Turns out they were probably limited to tandems and TA never even mentions them in its brochures.

You know it's going to be a good day when the stem and seatpost come right out.

Go to eBay.fr the big keywords here are:
- Plateau = chainring
- Pedalier = crankset
- Dents = teeth
- 3 bras = three arm
- Vintage
- Ancien = old
Seems like Nervar, Simplex, Stronglight TS and Specialites TA are some of the options out there.
