As title, I need a Shimano DX front mech (either NOS or VGC) suitable for an Alpinestars Cro-mega. Thanks.

Update: 5 February 2012 Thanks everyone, once again, for the positive feedback. I should also have conveyed my gratitude, in a MUCH earlier post, to Mrs AK74 for the use of her studio and for taking the photos. I've made a bit more progress on the component-gathering front, and the...

Received a front mech (in a swap) and forks (which I purchased) from Staf. Very happy, and can definitely recommend him as a a valued seller/swapper. Cheers Alex
