Bicycles Asked by MDV2000 on July 18, 2021
I’ve been wondering is there a marketplace to buy/sell/get original parts for bikes no longer made? I have a Bridgestone X0-1 Hybrid (the weird looking one with mustache handlebars) and I want to either restore it to original like new condition (or might just sell it) but I haven’t really found a good place to research this. Any ideas? I’ve tried ebay, but either its a whole bike (I don’t need that) or never the parts I need!
Thanks,
Mike
In the UK you can look at Retrobike.

I'd vote for PinkBike or your local Craigslist. I know I look in both spots for parts when I want something new for my bike.

Look for stores that sell used bikes, they'll often have a large selection of parts for sale.

Backpeddling in Guelph Ontario has a great reputation as a source for hard-to-find parts for specific bikes or vintages. I'd be surprised if you didn't find a great deal of help from these guys: http://www.backpeddling.com/

EBay is your best bet. It actually has a wealth of parts--they just go fast! Set up a saved search for what you are looking for, and it will email you when a match appears!

The UK also has a traditional event called the Bike Jumble. I've never been but I think they specialise in vintage bikes and parts.

At the time of posting this in September 2020, some have been postponed a full year to late 2021 due to covid.
