hello all,

i'm trying to get ahold of a f. derailleur for my px-10LE. need what i believe is the first model super lj, with the housing stop in the front where the clamp pivots, and gold label.

i've looked into the models and as best as i can find out it is a slj5000 that would match the equipment on my bike. this bike came to me with some pretty funny mix-matching, but in such great condition for what was there! it had matching derailleurs, and some of the parts that came with it are correct. i'm very close to having it in a condition in which i'll be happy with.

here are pics of the derailleur that i have. it is sad and broken at the cable anchor bolt. also pictures of the bicycle in progress:

if any px experts would like to share their knowledge on what equipment would be correct i'd love to hear it. i've read a good amount of google search results of px-10, and px-10LE, and there really seems to be alot of vaugeness as for as how to find the year and right equipment for a given px-10! i have read some (but not all!) of the cr list archives for px-10

and...

should i swap the steel downtube mounted derailleur cable guide for the delrin one? does either guide go more with super lj derailleurs? i have a delrin one i could use and am leaning that way in respect to what i like and what "goes"...

i would love a simplex badged seatpost to swap out the spidel one. my spidel post pictured is the longer one, i'd need the longer simplex post. anyone want to trade seatposts? (26.4)

also i do have a few options for pedals, and i also have a nos ideal 2002 to use,

so with a front derailleur i'll be on the road!

i would super appreciate any help on this. i am able to buy outright and use paypal or can work out something else for those that may not want to send funds through paypal. i also am into trading.

here is the item # 260510129410 for an omas headset i have on ebay. i have some other items too, and would be happy to end an auction early if any of my items could be part of a trade for parts i mentioned

thanks for the help and for reading! i'll be sure to post pics when it's done!
