    Hey,
    Does anyone know a place (online or offline) where I can get some early 90's components, secfically brake calipers, other than eBay? The prices there seem to go quite high. I have some dura ace components on the bike atm and so I'd like to keep it all dura ace if possible.
    Also, can anyone recommend some wheels that might suit an early 90's Italian steel frame. I'd like to not modernise it and keep that early 90's look if possible.
    Thanks.

    I'm sure if you try a local bike shop they might be able to point you in the right direction or even have stuff lying around that they never used or never sold.

    Worth a shot!

    Hilary Stone on LFGSS has a huge selection at very reasonable prices. E mail him if you don't see what you're looking for. His communication skills aren't the best but he will deliver the goods - eventually !

    I would imagine rothar in phibsboro get clunkers in for repair/upgrade all the time. Much more likely to hang onto spare vintage/older parts than bike shops that are trying to sell new components.

    All guess work but worth trying
