I did, and ordered the same frame from a different ebay seller, who shipped the next day. This thing shipped on the 2nd, got here today, rather than October 22nd...

Just need to wire it up and throw the chain on.

Did a pretty mellow 17 miles in the neighborhood and on the riverside path. There was so much water today that the LA River almost looked like a real river.

Was offered two very tempting very sw8 fixays. So many sw8 fixays, so little money. Rent? What's that?

Well that's a website I didn't need to know existed.

I've been looking everywhere for these, I know you can't share what the prices are, but would you care to play a higher/lower game with me...? $125?

Who was the seller? I have some parts bin gold that needs mating.

Looks good, too much black and white through; needs red accents.

lol, too much for me.

Seller was a_baygoods:
https://myworld.ebay.com/a_baygoods/&...84.m1439.l2754

Same seller I bought the wheelset from, generally arrives in less than two weeks, about 8 days. He packages very well.

Waitaminnit. All that stuff isn't really available is it? I just figured it was olde unattended online catalog pages.

What about https://www.bikepro.com ? That stuff is mostly archival, right?

I can't look at it right now but that is one of the things I too want. My SR doesn't have down tube braze-ons but I want 8 speed index dt shifters.

There was a good thread a few weeks ago on C&V about the long term availability of NOS parts. Apparently there are warehouses stocked with old parts and hoarders with stock piles of parts that they won't give up.

Damn, EAI has 180mm Sugino touring cranks :-|

Actually the clamp does nothing for me. It's the levers themselves. I have two 8 speed tricolor bikes with STIs now, and at least one of them would have come with DT shifters originally. It'd be cool to have the option. That being said, I can't find 6401 DTs ANYWHERE.

I didn't know it existed either. I created an account, but I can't see prices on anything, or it'll say $0.00. How do you order anything from this site?

Unless you own a bike shop, you're not ordering anything directly from EAI. Luckily, I know a guy who has an account.

I just looked up those SL-6401 shifters and they are available.
