I have a early 90s 10 spd (i think) sitting around you can just have if you need parts. nothing fancy, but parts are parts.

If steve doesn't want it I might be interested

I've got an old pile I'm trying to put back together and the derailer blew apart when I was cranking it and running through the gears.

Heck yeah, I'd take it.

The Raleigh just needs a few bits and pieces so anything helps.

Whatever is left over you can snag from him. Otherwise I can keep my eyes open for more. Found it on the side of the road one day. (by the garbages, not stolen) Lot of people get rid of the old ones around here (stillwater bayport area) and just get new ones.

I'd take any old ten speeds you find, The Peugeot my son got me for $10.00 would sell easily on E-bay for $250-$300 as it sits right now.

K, let me know. It's brand new. I only used it 5mins to make sure everything was running right on the bike.

Thats actually what happend with my stock derailour. The top gear blew apart in half, and I was still riding the bike for acouple days with it like that. LOL

Yup, that one felt fine except it had that odd "tick" as you were pedalling which was caused by several cracks in the plastic gear.

Yeah. One was cracked, the other disintergrated...

Actually got it all back together today. But its cold and rainy, can't even ride it :-/


Mostly back together...still acouple things I wanna change on it...


Hard to believe its the same bike a week ago...

No more changing gears on the fly?

Geez, you kids these days

I may eventually put it back into a shifter. It only takes 5 minutes. But I'd like to build a fix'd, so if I can find a good frame, I'll put this back into a shifter...

Just as a reminder, my Peugeot.









It's gotten cleaned up and different tires/wheels since then, I want to find the same color bar wrap but I don't know if that'll be possible.

Oh you jerk!! >:(

Do you know the size of the chain gears?

Is that like a biege color wrap? Your right, I have not seen that color either. Might be able to be ordered tho...

The wrap is actually light green, you can count the gear teeth this weekend if I see you.

Oh. A bike shop here had mint green cork bar wrap.

i know nothing about bikes but these are free maybe u wanna look into it...http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/z ... 09344.html
