The Bike Station does sometimes have 27 inchers, but don't expect them to be labelled or racked as such. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15239#post-194745 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 13:27:16 +0000 kaputnik 194745@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>First stop I guess would be a rake about in the parts bins at the Bike Station. There's lots of old fashioned components stripped off of bikes that were scrappers.</p> <p>Pads for vintage brakes are fairly easy and cheap to get online as they still make them. I have a feeling Bicycle Works may have some on the shelf.</p> <p>Tyres and tubes in most olde sizes fairly easily available online too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15239#post-194743 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 13:21:38 +0000 algo 194743@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>a friend has asked me about the availability of vintage Raleigh parts in Edinburgh - specifically for restoring a DL-1 Raleigh Tourist - initially looking for tyres, tubes and brake pads. </p> <p>I'd be very grateful if anyone has any advice about where to get such parts.</p> <p>many thanks as always </p>
