Part's that span old/mid/new?

(1/5) > >>

JT71:
just wondering if there's any parts than span old, mid and new school?

I was thinking about Tech 77 levers, when did they first appear? Did the first ones all have locking buttons which
the current ones don't? Do they truely span all three eras?

Shimano DX pedals too, but the new ones are nothing like the originals, so that's just a name.

Obvioulsy tuff II's though they aren't really used on proper new school bikes, not sure they were on that
many mids either.

dialledbikes:
Comp 3s
Profile cranks
Redline Flight cranks

SaMAlex:
Good question. There aint many 80s parts/design-of-parts that have always been used, and are used on NS bikes today.

-Tech 77s
-Comp IIIs
-Profile cranks
-Gyros (although they have got bigger cos of 1 1/8th headsets)
-Seatclamps (Clutching at straws now. Again, they are bigger dia, and they are built in on many new frames)
-Grips? They are still rubber and the same size?

I dont think there is anything else that falls into that group, and its only really the first 3 on the list.

SaMAlex:
Oh mike you beat me to it with the profiles and the compIIIs.

Im not with you on the flights tho. Does anyone use them now?
Even if they do, they aint the same as the 80s ones, right?

evamedia:
I'd count Gyro's, bet Brian Scura does, at a $1 a pop

inner tubes?  ;D
