  1. I broke an old normandy 500 x 126mm steel QR skewer (along with the
    axle, but i know enough not to search for such a rare axle) and now
    I'm looking for a replacement skewer rod. Yeah, it's silly but i'd
    like to try to keep this skewer looking vintage, with its 1970's PX-10
    type of skewer nut.

    The skewer rod has the same thread pitch as Campagnolo. I have
    verified that the pitch is different than the pitch on joytech
    (probably 26 TPI just like the axles, but i don't have a pitch gauge
    to verify this fact.)

    Does anyone know a source of affordable replacements ?? I can deal
    with cutting down a rod for a 130mm hub, if available. Right now I'm
    thinking of buying a pair of old campy triomphe rear skewers from
    wwcyclery on ebay, for $10/pair.

    Hey, Don . . .

    Since you're San Diego based, have you given CyclArt (Vista) a call??

    http://www.cyclart.com/newindex.html

    I'm under the impression that they have a pretty extensive inventory
    of hard-to-find parts for vintage bikes.

    Happy hunting!
