Hi everyone! I am relatively new to the list, and I am in the process of sourcing parts to complete a 1950's Mercian Road and Path I purchased recently from Hilary Stone (at a bargain price, I might add!).

I was successful in a recent auction in winning a nice pair of FB hubs (Hilary Stone again!), and am now looking for rims... I've been looking for a while, and I'm beginning to think that these may be difficult to find.... I am prepared to use either 27" or 700C rims - clincher or tubulars. If anyone has any tips for how to find these, please contact me off list!

I also recently found a nice Williams 1" pitch crankset, but it is for a 1/8" chain - and I have a very beautiful Diamond 1" X 3/16" block chain that I want to use, so I'm also looking for a 1" X 3/16" chainring. I also need a suitable rear sprocket. Again, if any of you experts have any tips, please contact me off list.

Thanks!
Fraser Cunningham.
