Anyone have an original Paris/Rensch bilaminted frame for sale? Not after a Galibier, just a conventional frame - 23", 23.5" even 24".
Must be for 27" or Sprint size wheels.Thanks.

You might need to use a touring or MTB rear derailleur with a rear cassette of that size. IIRC a lot of short-cage models handle up to 28t.
That was actually the plan. Shimano say most of their MTB long cage (SGS) derailleurs are good for 34T rear. I wasn´t even looking at roadie stuff. Have to see what sort of small sprocket chainset I can turn up. I may not need to step up to a 34t rear.

Wish I´d known about it before I spent a lot of money on evilbay.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I've got 10 speed Ultegra F+R mech with a 7 speed block and chain. Works a treat - really nice shifting
Really? Thats interesting to know. You managed to limit the side to side movement with the limiting screws no problem? What shifters are you using? Indexed?
Why not using a nice XT long cage derailleur with XT thumbies and the correct chain?? Would maybe fit nicer to the "older" bike... or whats with Suntour Winner Pro freewheel up to 34 combined with some nice older Suntour equipment? They made nice parts in the 80es..
The newest XT you mean? I was looking at the XT thumbies already. Those look like just the job.
The bike currently has an old long cage Shimano "Stags head" 600 derailleur, but it won´t handle 34t and I don´t know if it´ll play ball with indexed shifters. My other plan was to use a Stronglight 49 chainset with the old TA cyclotouriste rings and go way down in size on the front, instead of bigger on the back, but again, I need a derailleur that will handle that amount of difference. Not sure if my current one would. -
Thanks Rodabod, I had a look at that already, it just seems to be a little out of date, as far as the newer Shimano stuff is concerned.
