just got stuck midway through a project since the band-ons that came with the frame have some screw size unknown to modern humans....need a set of cheap band-on/levers asap, to fit a standard steel frame downtube diameter. Can pickup all over London.
Cheers!

Was looking for something a little more budget - willing to take less of the vintage street creds ;) Also what fun is postage when I could be cycling to pickup instead of revising??

I've got a set of Huret friction shifters you can have for £3 posted, just a thought if things are tight.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
