Hello all,
I'm glad there is a resource such as this. I lost my TDF last year to a greedy thief and have been waiting patiently for a replacement. Finally I scored a '84 Team pro frame and fork. Now it's off to on-line auctions to get the components.
I have a question about the front dérailleur. It seems the seat tube is 28mm do I need a Simplex mech or are there shims available so I can build and ride with a first generation Superb group I have.

Campy or simplex will work. I don't know anything about Suntour...and wouldn't want that hung on my 1984 (  ). I also don't like shims for anything...but don't know if it would work.
Post pics of your 1984...would love to see it. Everyone on the list really likes pictures.  |

Here's a couple of shots. It came to me with a crampy head set but I'm gonna' pull it off and sell it to one of the young kids, they don't know any better. Me, I prefer kit that works properly when I ask it to. Cranks that break and slopy dérailleurs all in the name of fashion just isn't for me
