70's parts

[Peter J]

I'm looking for info on what parts that would be used on a 70's build

After seeing Stidds Goose, Snav's Race Inc Carls Robbo and ALL of John’s old Geese to mention just a couple at MK it’s got my blood flowing again

I've had a look http://martin-bike.com/ and got some good ideas and there's a few reference bits on the museum

but just wondered if anyone had any other reference sites or info  

Or could any recommended cool parts from that era

7C's and 7B's..... fookin' love them my wobbly friend

Hate the brake levers but love 1020's and 890's.

Hate the tyres too

I've got 70's parts.  1973 vintage, hardly touched over the last 5 years, mint!

  just need a good rubbing over with oil to get all working again eh

  I've got 70s parts too

definitely some signs of 'shelf wear' there, with some scuffs and pitting visible
may be suitable for a rider with a bit of resto

[Spen69]

Nope, only 60's parts here. Extremely well used and a bit worn, but still fully working. Has been through some war-torn battles but the scars have healed now

I'm looking for a nice black Astabula Swan Neck if anyone's got one going spare?

Peter got some NICE RAMPAR bars like COOK BROS but both sides of the cross bar go down came of a 79 bike with ogk grips

Peter start looking for 70's road race and track parts, like Campagnolo, Sansin, Ofmega etc and get them converted to BMX use, that is what most of us have done.

I find a lot of road race parts on here.... www.yellowjersey.org.

Welcome to the wonderful world of 70's parts, they are by far the most fun to find and use on builds.

I like how people fitted anything they wanted in the 70's. Be it from an MX bike, a racer or even a shopper!

Why not do a late 70s UK build? Still a few grifters about to get you started

If you still have these Darren I would be really interested. I was chasing some of these for ages for my team rampar but to no avail.
