Hi guys,
Having found my 80s Evans 531 crushed by a van whilst locked up I've spent a week and £200 getting a new frame, wheel, freewheel etc etc...
I've now got it all fixed, but when I attatched the Shimano Deore front derailleur, I found the bolt onto which the cable clamps has fallen off with all the moving and is lost.
My LBS said they would never find the right size and that I needed a new front derailleur. I've had to spend so much money already I can't do it.
So I'm desperately searching for the small cable bolt from this random old derailleur, I was wondering if anyone had a clue where to find one...
It looks very very similar to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Deore-DX-clamp-front-derailleur-30-0-NOS-NIB-/160685480105?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256999d8a9
Thanks a lot,
Ben
