Hey Bunch,

A friend's bike was stolen recently and I'm building up a new commuter for her. I've acquired a lightweight vintage Italian step-through in a nicely large size for a decent price. The budget isn't terrible, but we are trying to be thrifty (in case it's stolen again, goddess forbid) - so I'm asking for your well-used but functioning parts kicking around in that bin that you've been meaning to sell off or donate.
  • 700c wheelset - 126mm rear spacing; likely running 32mm tires; aluminum rim brake rims - 5/6/7spd cassette like HG or freewheel both great
  • silver quill stem with 25.4 clamp, about 80-90mm extension - no need for lots of height
  • silver sidepull or centerpull brakes, mid-reach
  • 110 or 130 bcd crankarms
  • silver platform pedals
  • front rack with axle-fixed struts, like a VO Constructeur, or similar. Silver would be nice; OR a Wald 137 with its struts
  • rear 6/7/8 speed short or mid-cage derailer, silver
  • bar-end (right-side only) or stem-mounted shifter set-up
I think that's all, at least for now. We appreciate your help and unwanted bits!

thanks,
Patch

Hey, if it’ll fit I have a 700x33, and a 700x37, set of schwalbe marathon tires.  They run a little small, so might work.  Maybe 50% life left.   

Also a pair of black platform pedals.  

Lmk if either would work.
