Reclaimed Bicycle Parts

When a bicycle needs repair often a replacement part will be required. A modern bike can be fitted with a modern part which is usually readily available.

On an old bicycle it is often possible to get the bike back on the road by fitting a modern part, but in doing so we lose some of the authenticity of an historic machine. As new parts for old bicycles are often obsolete and unobtainable it is often necessary to use an good condition old part that has been reclaimed from a scrap bike.

These reclaimed bicycle parts are usually scarce and will often command a higher price than the equivalent new part.

It can be argued that authentic internal Sturmey Archer parts are not important. New internal parts will not change the appearance of the bike. Many old hubs can be brought into working order using new parts.

    Hi, I’m searching for an axle for the Sturmey Archer AB 94-4 3 speed approx 163mm in length ( not precise as it’s broken) I’m pretty sure it’s the HSA 108. Can you help?
