A Three Speed Bike Parts Finds So Far This Spring

 

I've had pretty good luck so far this spring locating the kinds of parts one usually needs to rebuild a derelict, old three speed.

Some parts, such as 1930s-50s Schwinn parts, or pre-war Raleigh parts, are harder to find. So I was happy to locate some good parts at reasonable prices this spring. 

 

 

These include a pre-war Raleigh fender reflector, a set of very nice "Schwinn Built" brake calipers from a late 1940s Schwinn three speed, Scwhinn frame cable clamps from the same 1940s era bike, and a bundle of very nice Sturmey Archer quadrant shifters from the 1930s-40s.

 

Now... if only the weather will cooperate with ride season. We shall see...
