Obsessive searching for vintage mountain bikes and components. Some occasional road bike love too.

Thomson X4 31.8
I continue to tweak the position on my Moots Vamoots and hope that this new stem will help.
Dia Compe AD-5 brake levers
These come up on eBay much less than I would expect. These have been one of my favorite levers. They look great, are very light and work well.

Sachs 7 speed freewheel
I first tried an 8 speed Sachs freewheel on the WTB grease guard (classic) hubs on my steel Phoenix, but the block was too wide. Trying again with this one. A 12-32 would have been better, but this should do the job.

Ale bottle cage
So, *this* is the one that Jacquie Phelan uses... (hat tip to Fillet Brazed for the info)
Moots dirt drop turn key kit
Moots stem, funny dirt drops (not WTB), Kelly Take-offs and lacquered tape. Why not!@ I am thinking about putting these on my steel WTB Phoenix.
Campagnolo fork dropouts
I am having a Type II fork repaired and thought I needed Campagnolo dropouts. Turns out the fork is made with Shimano... no fear though, I found those too!
Sun Rims
I recall seeing these rims around 1991 or so. Super light at around 398 grams claimed. I also recall my pal having one tear apart when he was finishing the Canadian downhill nationals in 1992!
