I need the correct handlebars and brake set up for my large framed TOC French Rochet bicycle. This is the type with the brake push rod travelling through the handlebar stem and fork tube. No evidence of a brake at all at the moment so possibly a track or path racer but I want to ride it! Thanks,

No; The Cabe has been so useful and I have already had great advice from a number of members who really know their stuff.

I have a TOC Model 50 Columbia shaft drive and need a steel front wheel, adjustable handlebars and stem and seat post. Please let me know what you have. Thanks. Chris

Hi, I have a Columbia Mode;l 50 and cannot locate the axle bolt / nut for the rear wheel. Did you manage to locate them for your bike and, if so, do you know of any others that I can buy? Thanks. Chris

I have bare metalled my bike but am looking for a suitable tank plus correct headlight to fix to the Shockmaster fork before I start painting. Any help locating them would be appreciated. I am in the UK but happy to pay the extra shipping costs. Thanks. Chris

Hi, Did you sell this tank? I am in the UK and need a 3 Gill non-bent tank for my 1940 CWC All American and wonder whether this would fit? Thanks. Chris
