Hunt for a detachable seat stay
Postby cyc715t » Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:20 pm
Hi, how are everyone going with this heat - if you are in Melbourne? haha
I'm just wondering if anyone knows where to find a detachable seat stay for a vintage 'grandma' bike please - the type that bolts on?
eg like the seat stay that is bolted onto the frame in this pic:

Thanks, have a nice night.

Hi, how are you? Thanks for that. 
I'll double check tomorrow when it is light but from memory it is about 50cm long.. is that quite common please?

Thanks for that.
I just took another measure of it - I think the length of the whole stay is 50cm and from centre of bolt hole to centre of bolt hole is a bit shorter... about 48-49cm if that makes sense?

Hi
Looks like it is around 49cm
I do have another but is pre war which is only slightly smaller,
See how that matches up, in the meantime ill see if i can find another.

Hi, how are you?
Thanks for that. It might work. I suppose the only way to tell is to try and attach it right?
Thanks, I appreciate that. Please let me know how you go with the other ones that you have if that is ok.
Would you like to do a trade for your seat stay with some of my parts? I'm not sure what I have that might appeal to you.
Thanks again, look forward to your reply. Have a good Oz Day!
