I have been suffering from the flu for too long now and am going stir crazy and want to get out of the house. The only positive side to this is that it means that I have too much time on my hands and have finally been able to launch a number of ebay auctions that I had been meaning to look after for quite some time. I outed the first items a few days ago, I have now added another 15 over the last 24 hours. 4 of them have already been picked up by list members using the 'buy it now' option, this means that there still are the following items up for sale:
-NOS Campagnolo Gran Sport hub shells -NOS Selle Italia Turbo saddle -NOS Vittoria white brake lever hoods -Legnano Gaslo handlebar plugs (Sorry Dave, still haven't come across the plain Gaslo ones) -NOS TA crank dust caps and pedal washers -a set of Clément Seta Extra wheel covers -an early to mid 1950's Campagnolo shift lever. This is one with the loopy 'L' and open 'C' My guess is that it is from between 1953 and 1956. -an early to mid 1950's Campagnolo Sport rear derailleur. -Huret Challenger rear derailleur with Huret gear lever -Fluted Campagnolo 2-botl 27.2 mm seatpost -Brooks Professional saddle with small copper rivets and the most unusual offering being a track wheel that has a Hi-Lo Campagnolo Gran Sport hub. This could be a home-made piece of kit or perhaps a prototype that was around before the actual Hi-Lo Record hubs were supposedly supplied to the German Olympic team. This makes me wonder, is the story about the birth of the Hi-Lo hubs steeped in any fact, or is it simply an 'Urban Legend'? The hub that I have for sale has a Gnutti flange on one side and an FB-branded one on the other side of the Campagnolo body. No matter, to me it screams MOJO with its tied and soldered spokes and Italian Cycling Federation tire.
You can see the auctions at: http://ebay.com/
Once I get some more information, I will also be adding a few more tomorrow or on Saturday.
