I'm following Cudarider's lead and tossing this out to all of you... I need purple anodized parts from the 80's or 90's for a new project that I landed this week. The frame is a KOGA-MIYATA from the early 90's, it uses aerospace techniques to bond (with heat) and bolt together aluminum main tubes to triple butted and splined steel stays and forks. If you happen to have any purple wheels, cranks, brakes, headsets, levers, stems, and/or handlebars, please let me know. I'm looking for anodized parts instead of painted and I can't use it if it's heavily faded (as the purple fork is so dark and not faded). If I can't find anything worth buying soon, I'll drop the idea and paint the fork black. A black fork would probably look better with the neon yellow to neon green fade paint but I had to give this survivor a chance.
Thanks for any and all the help, you guys have been very helpful before and I'm hoping this time is no different.
Have a great weekend!

pic. 1 is the frame and fork (obviously
).pic. 2 is the built in "Anti-Chain Suck" in the bottom bracket casting. Greg Herbold raced these bikes back in the day and Ringle was their main aftermarket sponsor, hence the Ringle "Anti-Suck" device that became standard on these frames.
pic.3 is the cast seat lug with the slick seat post QR and the cable stops built in.
