I recently cleaned the basement of our 35 year old shop and found LOTS of NOS parts from Schwinn, Weinmann, SunTour, Shimano, and Campy. We have hubs, brakes, shifters, derailleurs, rims, just about everything. If you are looking for something particular shoot me an email or call. Almost all the items include original packaging and most have never been opened. I would be glad to send pictures. www.motorlessmotion.com

Roy, if you look back through these discussions you will note that who sold the bike and who built it are often completely separate. Shapleigh may have marketed bikes by more than one manufacturer; I don't know. However, examining frame shape, chainwheel, dropouts, serial number patterns, and other features can quickly lead to your bike's origins. The springer fork will help. I checked the picture database and only one bike, a very old one, came back from a Shapleigh search. Do you have pictures? Meanwhile, you can browse through http://nostalgic.net/arc/bicycles/ which is arranged mostly chronologically. Take a wild guess at your bike's age and start from there.
If you want to email me a picture or description, feel free.
