Look Ma, No Hands!
I am looking for a Favorit front and rear derailleur (prefer higher end models), a Favorit Special front brake, and a left side crank arm.

Hello,

Good to meet another FAVORIT fan.

Have a few fittings for them; mostly from around the early 1970's.

There are different generations of gear mechs.

If might be best for you to post images of the specific ones you seek.

In case you have not discovered it already, the Sterba Museum is a marvelous source of Favorit/Eska/Rapido/Jawa/Velamos information -

Model F12 of 1979 -

I believe that mine is a 1973, but I don't know what model. The crank is the same as your but it only has the drive arm. I don't have either derailleur, and I have the rear brake, but not the correct front brake. I am watching a handlebar stem on ebay.

Suspect your model F10 - close to the model F12 shown below save that the F10 came with wired-ons and the F12 with tubulars. The F10 was roughly parallel to the Raleigh Gran Prix and Peugeot UO8 of the time.

Original rear mech would have been something called the PWB (for Prague, Warsaw, Berlin - the east bloc counterpart to the Tour de France).

All of these fittings would be "just right" for the subject machine! :yum:

kunzog do you have the companion bar with the external sleeve for the stem?

front mech?

looks like all that would be needed is the crank arm.

another of correct dimensions could be temporarily substituted to get the machine operational.
