Hi All,

I am now ready to rebuild my TRM bike from 1984. But I have forgetten everything I ever knew.

Can anyone advise where I can get the following items from?

I have my original Redline flight crank and I want to buy a sealed BB set for it.
I am also looking for a nice headset, I think mine was sealed bitd so I would like one of those as well.
I need a chain, I have seen some izumi's ebay but the sizes are quite confusing, can anyone tell me the spec and sizes that I need.
I am looking for a rear brake cable as well, can you still get Clark's Powerglide?

Cheers in advance,

Derrick

Yeah Matt, I got the red TRM frame.
Like it was advertised, it needs a bit of work and I don't think it was the correct shade of red anyway (Its supposed to be JMC candy red). So I will probably end up getting the minor repairs done, get the coaster attachment cutoff, then get it chromed. Still on the look out for some TRM forks though.

Cheers for the tip rombloke.
