It's hard to know initially where to look when just coming into the bike world.<br /><br />I'll get some pictures up when I can!Raymond Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129176326133290212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465540834241264546.post-56005379654989817182012-05-01T15:56:58.748-03:002012-05-01T15:56:58.748-03:00Hi Raymond,
Have you tried the Classic and Vintage...Hi Raymond,<br />Have you tried the Classic and Vintage section of www.bikeforums.net ?<br /><br />Great community and they have their own C&V sales section within the C&V section. If you sign up (have to pay a fee to be able to post in buy/sell/trade section) you should have no trouble finding some old suntour stuff. Or ebay should also be plentiful. However if I were you I wouldn't be too worried about keeping it original. Avanti isn't a real high end bike, so mixing it up a bit won't be too big of a snafu. If you wanted to stick with suntour I would go with some Suntour AR stuff, and maybe even suntour barcons.<br /><br />Good luck in your project, and be sure to link to some pics when you get them!Hughiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356464528112078992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465540834241264546.post-59866227361850403072012-05-01T15:48:21.823-03:002012-05-01T15:48:21.823-03:00would love to know where to get some old suntour c...would love to know where to get some old suntour components. I'm slowly fixing up a mid 80's Norco Avanti (my first project) and it needs new shifters and a new front derailer.Raymond Funkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129176326133290212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465540834241264546.post-17260422123555435152011-03-26T22:17:16.383-03:002011-03-26T22:17:16.383-03:00haha yeah I got it bad man!
