First off, Diablo cycle in London have alot of repro parts. Then ebay for things like actual structural stuff. Then beg the part hoarders here to part with some of their stashes.

Welcome to the board. I've got some assorted S2 parts available. Check 'em out in the For Sale section: triplescanada.proboards.com/thread/8148/s2-parts-sale?page=1#scrollTo=86140Open to offers on any/all of it. I'm located in Winnipeg but have been making the annual Triples pilgrimage to southern ON for the Triples in Paris rally for the last few years. (No shipping cost if you can wait till June '14). Cheers, Neil

The Boyer system is not so good on the triples, due to the fact that the boyer requires a 100% good battery all the time, with the wasted spark and the mediocre charging system, the boyer cannot keep up
