CAMPAG RECORD SMALL FLANGE HUBS 36H These are in good condition with the bearings feeling very smooth - no grittiness at all. The rear hub has the longer axle suitable for six and seven speed freewheels. The front hub shell has a number of scars on the flanges but the spoke holes are all fine. Great for user wheels. Complete with Q/Rs. $30
KARRIMOR SADDLEBAG SUPPORT 1950s/60s the saddlebag straps to the support which has steel prongs that sit in the saddle bag strap holes of most Brooks saddles - not Brooks Pro or Sprinters though. And one strap - I normally use a toestrap - goes around the seatpin. It is 100% secure and quickly lifts off if you¹re shopping or stopping for liquid refreshment! $30

AIRLITE LARGE FLANGE GEAR/FIXED HUBSET 32/40 hole The rear hub has threading for freewheel on one side and for a fixed sprocket on the other. It is in excellent condition - the threads are all good, the bearings feel smooth and the chrome on the centre barrel is virtually perfect. The front hub has smooth feeling bearings but the centre barrel has lost most of its original chrome - but it is not deeply pitted and should rechrome very easily. $105
CAMPAGNOLO SUPER RECORD HEADSET in excellent condition. The bearing surfaces are only lightly worn. The aluminium locknut is almost unmarked as are all the cups and adjusting race. There are no ball retainers. $60
CAMPAGNOLO NUOVO RECORD REAR DERAILLEUR Very good condition dated 1980. There are a few light scuff marks but nothing obtrusive. $45
CYCLO BENELUX SUPER 60 DERAILLEUR in very lightly used condition. The jockey pulley and sprocket show virtually no wear and the parellelogram appears to have no play whatsoever. The Cyclo coloured symbols are all perfect on this example $65
