Subject: [CR]FS: Fiamme Ergal and Vittoria - DeRosa Tires

Hi CR Gang, Cleaning house and time to sell more stuff. Item A - A lot of 4 NOS Fiamme Ergal Rims all unused with pretty reasonable labels, but the rims are a bit dusty and perhaps slightly shopworn. But they should polish up just fine and be absolutely gorgeous - but that is for the new owner to do. Will sell the lot with shipping in the US for $215. Remember that Ergal rims are extremly light and can shatter if hit hard - but for many, they are the ultimate vintage rim. Would use only with 5 or 6speed, or low-dish 7 speed. Again, these rims are magic for many folks - but for those who go "clunk" alot or don't unweight the bike on bumps, things may not end well. Item B - A pair of Vittoria Italian made tububulars - one CX, one CG, but the cool thing is they have a nifty Italian Cycling Federation label on them in addition to the typical label. Appear to be the tail end of true made-in-Italy production based on the rather late style labels. They still seem extremely supple, but buyer is urged to inspect and decide if safe for use (I'd use'em, but if you get them and aren't happy you can return them - but I doubt you will!). $125 shipped in the US. Item C - A pair of older NOS Vittoria CX tubulars with the older green label. Rarely do older Vittoria tires seem to turn up. But the cool thing is that these also have DeRosa printed on a panel next to the main label. The DeRosa printing, though, is very faint - but how often do you ever see these at all? These tires hold air, but not for too long. Just pumped them up and they are fine, but I recall pumping them up last year and they lost a good bit of air overnight. But for a display set of wheels on a vintage DeRosa, these are the ultimate find. They will be perfect for Cirque display or other venues. Otherwise the tires are in nice NOS shape but I can tell they are not supple like new tires, so riding them is NOT advised. $125 including shipping for the pair. All items first come-fist served. An email saying "I'll take them" with your address and how you want to pay will do the trick - and I'll confirm. All items will be shipped ONLY within the US - no foreign shipping as going to the post and waiting in line is just not feasible on these, sorry. Mike Kone - Boulder Bicycle, Boulder Colorado
