I have bent/broken rear derailleur on my 80's Le Tour Luxe and was curious what I might be able to do!

Any guesses on what the largest tire that would fit in there would be?<br /><br />Regards,<br />GrahamUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939036521712853167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-74775220907522713992015-08-11T16:26:02.801-07:002015-08-11T16:26:02.801-07:00John,

Can you please tell me where you found the stem? Was it NOS or a new model?<br />Thanks!<br />-Mike<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986020636188904898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-17063753953739530362014-11-30T03:57:28.694-08:002014-11-30T03:57:28.694-08:00Liz, I use mother's mag and aluminum polish fo...Liz, I use mother's mag and aluminum polish for the components.

She's in decent shape but the wheels needed replacing, the decals were gone, and her rear derailleur was bent [that has been fixed]. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
