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

Suntour Winner 7 - 13-30

The freewheel on my Cunningham Expedition has been kind of gummed up ever since I got it. I have tried just riding it around, soaking it with Prolink and riding it some more, but it still doesn't feel great. Consequently, I picked up its replacement.

Shimano 600 rear derailleur

Can't have enough of these!

Bontrager fork

Nice fork. Sadly underused as an ornament.

Campagnolo replacement brake pads

Turns out there are two sizes for modern Campy pads. Oops.

Manitou modded XTR M900 front derailleur

Doug Bradbury started with the already rare infinite band type front derailleur and then added a big fat band to it for 1.5 inch diameter seat tubes. Cool.

Suntour Mighty Shifters

Nice to have in stash for early mountainbike restorations. These came from a first gen Stumpjumper.

Specialized Tri-Cross tires

Classic Specialized tread but in 24 inch size. Happily I have gimpy 24 inch wheeled bikes that these will be perfect for. Too bad they weren't 26 inch though...

Campagnolo Record headset

Another piece for my Breezer Series II restoration. Classic steel headset. I installed it the other day and it feels very nice. Looks very nice too.
