I'm refurbishing a 20 year old kids bike.

What are good on line places for things like old fashioned 1" headsets, 6 speed freewheel and chain, twist grip shifters, quill stem and riser bars?

Wiggle etc are great for nice stuff, but where to go for just plain 'ornery?

Your best best is scouting eBay. There are some retro bits mountain bike groups in Facebook too where people sell bits.

Thank you for the suggestions, found most of the stuff on Amazon and Bankrupt Bike Parts.

It's coming along nicely, just hoping all the bits fit when I get them!
