You might try Play it Again sports. I know there's several over the Seattle area. If you're in Seattle Central, it's on either 12th or Broadway, I can't remember which.

Anyway, they have new and used equipment and might either have what you need or know where you could get it.

thrift stores like salvation army get kids bikes all the time . . . tend to sell for $10 to $20. cruising around the hood on garbage day might score you a free one.

Happy hunting

one of the good finds for bike parts and hard to find bike parts is locating your local mom & pop bike shop. -(not a big chain).

a lot of times these small shops are a heaven for bike parts. we used to go to a guy in denver (when we lived there) that had a great 'museum' of old, used, rare, domestic & foriegn, bike parts. it was an old shed out back that was the ultimate collection of parts that he had crowed over the years. a great resource. and for a friendly case of beer, he helped me outfit a 1969 grey ghost sting ray. -(very rare).

also check into yor local shops for swap meets. it's that time of the year and chances are you'll find what you need at a swap, or at least talk to someone there that can aim you in the right direction for your hard to find parts.
