Old Bike Parts Supplier???
I have been out of the bicycle business for quite a while. All of my go-to suppliers were marked in my 'Favorites' list. I am afraid that my old Favorites list got trashed along with my old laptop. I am needing some parts for an old Miyata triple chain wheel 210 that I found. It was quite dirty but has almost no miles. Everything is original including the tires which still seem to be good. The brake hoods are toast though and had to be scraped off. ......Even the rim sides don't look like a brake pad has ever touched them.
Anyway would anyone be willing to share their parts supplier so I can finish up this bike.

One of my favorite is eBikestop. They aren't 'vintage' but have a great selection of parts and usually the prices aren't bad. https://www.ebikestop.com/
Milwaukee/Ben's seem to have $ome nice older stuff but be prepared to pay. https://www.benscycle.net/
Most everyone here uses Niagara for something or other. https://www.niagaracycle.com/
Velo Orange will give you old steed a decided old school English look but you may as well buy a Rolls Royce. https://www.velo-orange.com/
Of course there is always ebay for when you simply have to have that '84 Cyclone or Thunderbird derailleur

Sometimes you can find rare old stuff at www.bikeville,com m(Via Bikes, in Philadelphia), but be prepared to pay. Still, prices not withstanding, they are very supportive and understanding of old bikes.
Harris Cyclery because I can ride over there in 10 min.

I just purchased a Miyata 210 but the frame and fork have issues (bent fork, ruined derailleur hanger) so I have FD, RD, crank, bb, hs, canti brakes and possibly canti brake levers from it for sale.

Thanks to all the responses. I have saved them all. The one I was specifically looking for was Loose Screws. I sure hate to see them go out of business. They always have my needed parts.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Yeah, I would have added them, but I figured they were gone by now. I remember calling them up in the pre-internet days, and they were always super-nice. They will be sorely missed.
