Its been bugging me ever since I saw this thread. I thought I'd got some somewhere, so I've just been rumaging in the garage and found a huge box of brakes. I've got sevral pairs of 500s, quite a few 730s and even some 810s. They all need a good clean, but are generally complete and fully functional. I could probably find some new cable adjusters as well (they always seem to corrode and break). Probably got some newish brake blocks as well. Don't want the Earth for them, but what is the going rate? PM me if you are interested. Will sell as pairs or fronts only. Also got loads of levers, including suicide levers (new) and bagged Raleigh (made in Taiwan) levers for straight bars - I think they are for normal diameter bars, but I will check if there is any interest. I'm in Lincoln, not London, so all items will be plus P&P at cost.

Yep, we've got some. Plain gauge stainless steel. £15 for 24 including P&P.
PM me for details if interested. -
Jazzythumper, you have PM

I've got a Mixte frame like that although it hasn't actually got a rear brake on at the moment. I've just been to have a look at it, and I reckon you should have another bridge at the top end of the two split tubes. From what I remember, I reckon a screw-in adjuster fits in the hole in the top bridge and this takes the outer casing and tensions the bare wire down to the brake. The screw-in adjuster is like the one which fits in a standard side-pull brake, or like the one which fits in the hanger on the headset for a centre-pull brake. Try getting hold of an old Weinmann 500/730 - I think that one will fit. If you can't find one, get back to me and I'll have a look in the garage.

Agreed 41 may cause the chain to contact the spider arms, but a 42 is fine. One here:

I'll have a look for forks and a wheel tomorrow and let you know if I've got anything suitable. Sure you can call in on your way up/back to Sunderland, we are only about 15 miles off the A1 if you get off at Newark. I'll give you my mobile number if I've got anything suitable and you can call me when you are on your way with eta.

Hi Gary
How long is the steerer on the forks. I've got quite a few old bikes lying around and may have some forks and a front wheel. problem is they are in Lincoln. Could bringthem down to Mildenhall at the end of the month if that is any good.

Hi Tom
I assume you want a left-hand crank. What sort - there are quite a few different CL cranks. What length? If you can email me a picture of the RH crank I'll have a look to see if I've got one. My email address is dave.kennedy@ntlworld.com.
Cheers
Dave
PS where do you live (for postage)?
