My 1996 Klein is a 21 speed with aged, worn, broken components. I need to replace the shifters, the chainrings (current one is rivited), and the front and rear derailluers (rear cassette is okay actually). So basically everything but the rear cassette needs replacement.
I think it would be easiest to stay with a 21 speed setup rather than convert to a 24/27 because additional parts would need to be replaced otherwise (new hub, plus???).
BUT I'm having a hard time finding reasonable prices on 21-speed components on-line. I'm fortunate enough to have some great LBS's but they mostly have used components for my setup, and the price is not too different from new components on-line (sometimes it's more used).
Basically, does anyone know where I can find on-line, at a decent price, the following for a 21-speed setup:
(1) Shifters (pair)
(2) Front chainrings
(3) Front derailluer
(4) Rear derailluer
Thanks!
