Shimano Deore LX FD-M571 front derailleur . this is made for 9 speed systems , pulls the cable from the top, features big stout pivots for extra durability , clamp size is 34.9 and can be shimmed for smaller seat tubes with derailleur shims ( not included )

Free shipping on this item NOTE: the French part being sold is the quill pictured (silver part in first photo ) the threadless stem (black part in other photos) is not included it is there to demonstrate how the quill works with the stem . Make your French bicycle work with any modern threadless Ahead style stem! Most older French bicycles use a 22.0 mm stem size that is not compatible with more standard 22.2mm quill stem size , the 22.0 size was discontinued in the 1980’s this makes it almost impossible to find stems for these unique machines . This quill adapter is machined to fit classic French bicycles that have the 22.0 stem size, it fits 1 1/8in ahead threadless stems that are found on most new bicycles. the quill is aluminum 7075 alloy , I can machine the stem to work with the 1in threadless clamp stems , if you need this make sure to make a note of it when you purchase the adapter. A few notes 1. The clamping area for the stem on the adapter is 40mm, most stems fit this, with some bulkier clamp designs may hang over a bit, as long a both bolts are clamping over the quill you are fine. 2. Stems have minimum amount of the quill that needs to be in the fork, this quill needs to be inserted 70mm in to the fork. 3. Most French stems that we have measured where actually made to 21.8mm diameter which allowed them to fit into the forks, as the variances in the production tolerances of the bicycle manufactures at that time often would mean some forks where 21.9 and others 22.0, I have chosen to match the 21.8 size that I have found on most of the stems I have measured. 4. Always grease the quill when you insert it in to the steertube of the fork. 5. here is a short youtube clip on these stems http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVi170R3cs Some common vintage brands that used French threads where Peugeot , Astra , Motobecane & Mercier ( the current inexpensive Chinese made bicycles with these name are not the same company’s as the original French manufactures ) , Gitane , Jeunet , Stella, etc

Free shipping NOTE: If your bicycle has seat tube that uses a 34.9mm clamp size front derailleur, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DERAILLEUR, 34.9mm is larger then 31.8mm and it is physical impossibly to make it fit . The 105 5504 9 speed triple front derailleur *Made for 9 speed drive trains *Works on older 7&8 speed systems. *It is uses the down pull cable design. *It works with all Shimano road shift levers. *works with classic 52-42-30 front chain ring set up's and others that new Shimano derailleurs can't . *Fits frames with 31.8mm seat tubes and can be used with shims to fit 28.6mm seat tubes (shims not included) Brand new, old stock Shimano 105 9 speed triple road front derailleur. This is a brand new Shimano 105 9 speed road front derailleur; part # is FD-5504. It is designed to work with a 52-42-30 triple crank set and others, clamp diameter is 31.8 mm (1 ¼), you can also clamp this derailleur on seat tube that is 28.6mm (1 1/8) with the use of a front derailleur shims (this part is not included with this derailleur but almost all bicycle stores stock them). It is a bottom pull Derailleur with means the cable pulls down from the bottom of the frame , pretty much all road bicycles are set up this way . This derailleur is quite rare now as Shimano stopped making all upper end front derailleur’s, 105 and above in 9 speed in 2007 and the new 10 speed ones only work with 10 speed drivetrain , making it a pain to upgrade parts on a 9 speed system. Now here are the technical details and why this derailleur is so special Shimano made a change in 2009 on the design of all their front derailleurs, so that they only work with very specific chain ring combinations that have a 11 tooth difference between the large ring and the middle ring , using the newer triple Shimano derailleurs on older chain ring combinations results in poor to nonexistent shifting . This 105 triple 9 speed front derailleur is much more versatile , designed to work on front chain rings with difference of 10 teeth between the large and middle ring, and a total max tooth difference of 22 teeth between the large and small rings. For example chain ring combinations 52-42-30, 52-39-30, 48-36-26, etc, work fine with this derailleur. You can see the difference between this derailleur and the new ones if you look and the shape of the inside cage, the new ones are much bigger and lower , this means they hit the middle chain ring when you try to use them outside of specifications they are narrowly designed for . This 105 triple front derailleur is new old stock (NOS), made in 2003, these originally where shipped from Shimano in bulk packaging for bicycle production so there may be a little scuffing here or there, from the way they where packaged by Shimano. These are brand new. This is the way they look when they are installed on new bicycles at the factory. Shimano coated these with corrosion protective oil / grease coating that has in some cases has become dried out , you may have to use a little solvent to clean it off if you care and want the chrome finish to shine to it's full potential . If you want a perfect jewel like finish you should buy a derailleur in aftermarket packaging and should probability be looking at the Dura-ace level of components where the finish is close as close to prefect as Shimano can make it in a production environment . these are compatible with all models of shimano road STI 9 speed shifters, and work with many chainring combination's that the new ones will not work with, These also make an excellent replacement for Shimano Sora FD-3304 & Tiagra FD-4403 derailleurs that have the spring braking issues as the 105 FD-5504 is a stronger design. If you want to look at the gritty details of Shimano derailleur specifications they are on their web site at http://techdocs.shimano.com/techdocs/index.jsp More derailleur knowledge this 9 speed derailleur will also work with a 7 or 8 speed drive train and shifters , but you may have a little more chain rub in the cross gears then you would if you had a 7 or 8 speed derailleur, this is due to the 7/8 speed chain being a little wider then the 9 speed chain , the cage on an 9 speed derailleur is also just fractionally narrower then cage on an 7or 8 speed derailleur . if you are replacing a lower quality 7 or 8 speed derailleur you will probably see much better shifting with this 105 9 speed because there is a lot less flex and play in this derailleur due to better materials and tighter production tolerances ,and that translates to more precise shifting . Shimano Road front derailleur's are designed only to be used with Shimano road shifter's (STI) , Shimano mountain front derailleur's are designed only to be used with mountain shifters , the pull ratios on the front derailleur's are different and will not work if you mix them up. Shimano also makes a R400s & 700s series of special front derailleur's that are n

Cyclone Precision single speed Crankset with Bash guard A Great set up for a single speed or fixed gear bicycle, the crank arms are 175 mm long and made of aluminum alloy. The chainring is a 38 tooth and the bolt pattern is 104mm . It is made to be used with a 1/2 X 1/8 standard single speed chain. The Bash guard is great for protecting the ring from the mishaps of life or saving your pants from getting caught in the ring . The crank is made to be used with a square taper bottom bracket ( I like the Shimano ones) Choosing the right bottom bracket when setting up a fixe or single speed will depend on the frame. Here are a couple of suggestions for this crankset , mountain frames normally use a 113mm spindle , older mtn bikes 110mm spindle , vintage road / Track 107mm spindle .
