good tip! most of the components look original, but it seems old enough that I’d expect 27" wheels instead of 700c.
there was also a softride in decent condition but for $200. Always wanted to do a fixed gear softride

Also here. Both look like a brass version of the Paragon adjusters.

does anyone have a source for brass barrel adjusters for canti brake hangers? as far as I can tell they don’t exist and I don’t know why. my coworker is a hobbyist machinist and I might have to get him to whip some up
Like these?

sorry should have clarified, does anyone have a source for M6 brass barrel adjusters for canti brake hangers
I’m not sure what size housing these will fit, but you want to go to a crusty old moped shop or somewhere that knows metric bikes, like Japanese or old BMW. Throttle cables, clutch cables, and fittings for carbs all have M6 brass adjusters available.
etc etc…

I used to work at a bike shop next to a moto shop and we’d get folks coming over all the time looking for stuff for their weird moto project.
