There's a small amount of corrosion on inside of one of the Christophe clips. Others are in excellent condition.

ISO vintage 6 speed INDEX Thumb shifter
Converting an older 1980's Univerga with downtube Suntour shifters to upright bars for housemate. She is a everyday rider, but would love to have indexed just because she is just "not mechanical". Is there such a thing? I see el cheapos online, but hoping you guys/gals will steer me in the right direction. 22.2 handlebars. Thanks for your help. Cheers!

Second Edit:
You said Suntour, and I automatically assumed you wanted to stick with them. Unless you're using an Accushift cluster, there's no need to stick with them. It's probable that modern "el-cheapo" will accomplish the task just as well as a 6 speed-era Shimano indexed thumbie (if such a thing was made).

^^^^^ What Unca Sam said. If the bike has standard spaced cogs, Sram or Shimano indexing thumbies should work. Specially spaced cogs will be an endless frustration for her unless she has the compatible shifters.

I'm not the definitive expert on this, but I think Suntour's only indexing was Accushift, which will need the specially spaced freewheels and cassettes for 'perfect' indexing. They had 6 and 7 speed indexed thumbies for ATB's, but without that idiomatic spacing, you're probably only going to get mediocre indexed shifting.
Second Edit:
You said Suntour, and I automatically assumed you wanted to stick with them. Unless you're using an Accushift cluster, there's no need to stick with them. It's probable that modern "el-cheapo" will accomplish the task just as well as a 6 speed-era Shimano indexed thumbie (if such a thing was made).

I don't see any reference to Accushift on the downtube shifters, and the rear mech has no decals, only a "SUNTOUR" stamped on the front. Rear mech is also the open style, short cage that you can pull the chain out of with out opening the chain. Cluster is the impossible to wear out, 14-32 square edged cogs inscibed with "Suntour, Perfect,(in Italics) Made in Japan".
I think this means it is NOT Accushift. I can post photos if there is any question. Would be delighted to not have to put another derailluer and cluster on the back if "el cheapos" or even some nice old "non accushift" Shimanos will work.
THANKS and I will watch for response.
Cheers!

26.6 seat post
I need a seat post for a 1980s Nishiki Olympic 12. My guess is 26.6 based on Sheldon and a quick measure with old calipers. rider quality is fine.
my good calipers are hiding. If you have seen them, tell them to come home and I will give them a better battery and put them in their case.
I have some random stuff for trade, or will purchase. Let me know what ya need and maybe we can both win.

I am looking for some Gold Anodized Galli front and rear derailers, anyone have any that they want to part with?
Thanks, Ben
this one or later...FD needs to be a clamp-on type. Thanks

Somebody out there must need a pair of pre-tri-color 600 pedals with toe clips - I’ve been trying to give them away for years!

A Canadian member has dibs, but stay tuned if shipping gets ridiculous and makes it not worth it.

They could use a proper Stronglight P3 or V4 headset for a PX10 build that's otherwise proper.
I have a stack of P3/V4/S5 parts. After digging, I'm a P3 top nut and Stronglight crown race away from having enough to donate OP a complete P3 headset. Don't suppose anyone can pitch in so we can help OP get a proper headset on their PX10?
