Hello,
I have a list of parts I'm looking for to upgrade some of the bikes I would like to display at this years Cirque.
1. One (1) left side Stronglight 49d crank, 175mm in length, French or standard British pedal threads (I have one of each).
2. One (1) plastic wing nut, black for a Simplex QR adjustable nut, circa 1960's - mid 70's.
3. One (1) Simplex Super LJ 5500 rear derailleur and matching Super LJ front derailleur with the activation arm behind the seat tube (unlike the earlier versions with the activation arm in front with built-in cable stop in the clamp pivot) I have a very nice early example for trade, I just need one with the activation arm to the rear, circa early 80's. Does anyone know if they can be rebuilt like a Campy derailleur?
4. To go with this year's theme, any Panto parts for a BASSO - crank rings, shifters, etc.
5. Finally, my semiannual request for a large Italian frame/fork circa 1960's - early 70's, needs to be 62 cm c to c or larger: Ideor, Colnago, De Rosa, Bianchi, Legnano, Frejus, etc. Needs not be in perfect cosmetic shape, although I don't wish to repaint it. It must also be mechanically sound as this will be ridden not looked at. As usual, I missed out on that cool mid 70's Colnago on eBay last week. This would have been a good example of what I'm looking for.
Please contact me off list if you can help!
Regards and I'll see you at the Cirque,
Rich
