Does anyone know if a firm called [Classic Bikes] is still around ? they were very helpfull for older bike parts from the 70-80sfor restoration projects. Or any others that may be in the same line. Thanks in advance Eddie

Hi Eddie,

Try Hilary Stone's website, or another forum called Retrobike also has a large parts/bike sales section.

Ebay probably the best bet but Dave Marsh carries a lot of older parts http://www.universalcyclecentre.co.uk/

There are a few around - here's a couple to be going on with.

VCC is also worth considering for their small ads

It's often worth chatting to your LBS - especially if they've been around for a few years. They often have all sorts of stuff kicking around in dusty boxes.

Good luck - and welcome to the workd of restoration

oldbiketrader.co.uk is good for old raleigh parts and Sturmey Archer stuff.
