Ebay is likely your best bet . If you are not aware of this . look for a vintage Suntour Sprint shifter, it's the same thing. I only have a left NOS Sprint shift lever sorry. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Okay, I'll agree with the Marmot. Although I sweat like the dickens wearing it even in really cold weather. REI Outlet sometimes has them in stock. (Where I got mine). And will also state that REI bicycle rain pants have been known to cover my legs over wool not-so-tights. Especially if it

I'd say buy the bike and ride it. Don't even worry about hoarding beyond maybe 1-2 extra sets of tires and half a dozen tubes when they are found at a good price. Worst case future scenario - convert the bike to 26x1-3/8 (590), which, worldwide, is probably more common than 700c. On Oct 3, 12:35

Hi again, Thank you all for your reponses. I'm a little overwhelmed by the kindly involvement of the members of this group! Last night was fun - as the replies came in, I was following links and Googling manufacturers and I learned a great deal about just what I was looking for. Thanks again!

From photos and geometry charts, it looks like the Sam Hillborne has a good bit of fork rake. I was curious if anyone had experience using the Sam for front-loaded light touring, specifically in a randonneuring capacity, but anyone riding it with a rando style handlebar bag. I know the Sam is
