    Ebay is about the only reliable source for parts for these. CMSNL in the Netherlands has some new parts but expect to pay top dollar.

    So, it was your late Grandfathers bike?
    Then perhaps it's something special, at least to you.
    Do a good job, it will be special. Enjoy the ride when you are done. :)

    I know if it had been passed down to me by someone close, it would be worth more to me than anyone else.

    You can get a better TV and Playstation later, but can't replace the bike. Sounds like a good choice. ;)
