For those those that didn't see my frame thread, I'm piecing together a bike for my oldest son that that suddenly and rapidly outgrew his bike (so did his little brother, who is inheriting it). I have a frame and fork now, so I need a few parts...

I need:

  • 9 speed Shimano shifter (I have a 9spd cassette and RD)
  • OR a Shadow/Shadow+ RD and a SRAM 9spd shifter (pull ratio is similar and can be modified to work)
  • OR a 10spd RD/Shifter/Cassette, Shimano or SRAM (if the price is right)
  • 104 BCD cranks (Octalink or ISIS) and a bottom bracket to match (option B: later 2-pc crankset, if the price is right). It needs to be 104 BCD though so I can use my NW chainrings.

For the cranks, I am considering these, but hoping to find an older name brand 3pc set for less:

I have new parts sitting in "shopping carts" on Amazon, Jenson and Ebay totaling about $130, but thought I'd see what I can scrape up used first.  This bike will be primarily for riding to school and friends' houses, with only occasional trail use and moderate risk for theft, so I'm not interested in spending much on it , just functional stuff to get him rolling...
