Powdered Brown Raleigh Styler twin top Bars
Gold Suntour powerstem
Tioga Beartrap Headset
Gold Tange LP440 locknut
NOS SR gold Fluted Seatpost
NOS Aeroyal Seat in Yellow not repro
Polished SR seat clamp
Tioga Beartrap BB
Tioga Spider
Tioga OPC
Gold Sugino 40t Chainwheel
SR custom M pedals tinned yellow
Chang Star Gold 890 rep calipers with gold Tech3 levers
Skyway Yellow grips
DID chain in bronze
