I have unearthed another 5 Wolber classic 290 Tubular (sew-up) tyres from one of my sources. This is definately the last batch. I'm sorry I deleted the addresses of the people who were disappointed last time I offered some of these. They are mixed tread and weigh in at around 9.5 to 10 ozs so are a heavy racing/training tyre. These are brand new - no signs of perishing or discolouration. They have a mixed black herringbone tread with a centre ribbed section with latex side walls. A simple label says 'Wolber Classic 290' with a small flag on either side. All have been inflated and are fine. I don't know what era they come from but to get new tubulars that look period is rare. $30 each or $50 per pair plus post from the UK (I would estimate $4 - 5) I accept credit cards or cash.

I have also put the following on Ebay this week: 2 Campag seatpins. 1 Used 27.2 and a NOS 25.0 A pat 81 NR rear mech GB stainless steel toeclips 1 GB stem 2 Campag chainrings 1 144BCD and 1 151BCD 1 GB stem 1 set Triomphe front and rear gears and levers 1 pair of Notti & Cattaneo pedals 5 NOS Campag BB AXLES for 70mm BB Shells (If anyone can tell me what frames had 70mm BB shells, I would be grateful!) 1 NOS Regina Oro Block 2 Chater Lea chainrings

Happy hunting!
