Looking for some bits to finish off a lockdown retro mtb build:

26" wheelset
decent-ish v brakes and levers
Quill stem with removeable faceplate, or hinged clamp - trying some more interesting bars for this

Looking to keep this build cheap, so ratty pieces welcome. Not fussed about keeping it period correct.

I've got a 26" wheelset that takes a 5 speed freewheel (maybe 6?). Steel rims, I think. Some fancy French hubs I think. Has quite new Schwalbe tyres.

Got some tatty Avid 3 Single Digit v-brakes (motley collection of brake pads, but you will stop ... eventually) - £5

And Easton EA50 med-rise bar also £5

Just had a rummage in the parts pin.
Fairly generic adjustable quill stem £5
Set of (I think) Deore LX V brake levers. £10
Some generic shimano Vs £5 if I can find the bolts
I seem to have half a set of old Deore Vs as well, I'll have a rummage, see if I can find the rest,

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

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