I'm currently in the process of overhauling an old bike of mine for a friend's son.
So far I've spruced it up as best as I can (new cables, brake callipers, tyres, grips...) but I've come to a halt at the rear derailleur. I cleverly lost the fixing bolts, and the barrel adjuster was buggered beyond repair. Are these things easy to come by?
The derailleur is a Shimano SIS.
I was considering a straight up replacement, but THIS seems bigger (more length between each jockey wheel).
Anybody got any suggestions? I'd ideally like to complete this lil' 'project' of mine by the end of the month, as I've been using my nan's more accommodating residence as a workshop for far too long now
Cheers
