Just wanted to say hello,
Its been several long months since I last posted to the CR bikelist, eight months to be precise. I just returned from Iraq and will be attending this years Cirque with my son. Because of recent world events over the past three years I have not been able to attend since 2002. 2002's Cirque was very memorable and I look forward to spending time with likeminded people and enjoying this year's event/ride with my son.
In preparation for this years events I have started a few new projects: a '68 PX-10 and a mid 80's BASSO (my first REAL bike I bought as a young man). I have a few questions that I know someone out there will be able to answer.
1. What are the correct front and rear derailleur for a '68 PX-10? Does anyone have photos that may help?
2. What are the correct shifters? I have seen several types: plastic levers - early to mid 60's I think; alloy levers; chromed metal levers with alloy band; chromed metal levers with chromed metal band, two types of metal bands - one with a round logo and one with a diamond logo.
3. Does anyone have a SR rear derailleur from the mid 80's they would be willing to sell?
Take care all, Rich Robinson
