Hey Doc,
I've been hunting on ebay and you are correct about lots of individual pieces available. I purchased a wheelset from another BF member. I think the freewheel hub is a shimano 6400. Not sure if that will be compatible with 6208 6 sp components. Also, I'm not seeing very many cranksets on ebay and they usually don't come with a bottom bracket and not labeled as 6208 like the other components. Any insights on your part welcomed.
