1990s Pinarello Stelvio restoration

Finding parts is a non-trivial challenge in Kenya. Most bicycles are Chinese and most wheels are 26". There is no eBay, no KFGSS, no real postal service, no online retailers. All parts sold in shops are either awful Chinese steel, or sub-Deore level Shimano for 3x the UK price. (i.e. 8spd chains are £27). The only way to find stuff is to go to your local bike mechanic and ask him to put the word out that the mzungu (white man) is looking to buy abc & xyz. Then days later you receive a SMS, go on a mission to find some guy and hopefully buy your parts.

The original Shimano 600 parts remaining on the bike are:

• STI levers, shagged, won't change gear
  
• Brakes, a bit iffy,
  
• BB, stiff, probably the only ITA thread BB in the country
  
• Headset, in surprisingly good condition
  
• Chainset, but unoriginal chainrings
  
  

Basically I need to replace everything except the chain set and the brakes, and realistically will need to source them from the west. I managed to order some parts (some from this thread [URL http://www.lfgss.com/thread95354.html] ) and my friend couriered them to me when visiting from the UK. Feels too good to be true to have these precious parts:

700c wheels are wider than suitcases and cannot be couriered, so I need to find them locally. A replacement rear wheel is a priority!

I'm still to receive a seatpost and a rear mech, to be brought by Sandbag (up there ^^^^).
