Hi Gang,

I know I’ve been quiet for a while, but I do now have some really nice items on Ebay including:

ZEUS CRITERIUM REAR GEAR (SIMILAR TO CAMPAGNOLO)

CHATER LEA SPRINT PEDALS TOMMY BAR TYPE RARE

CAMPAGNOLO RECORD ROAD PEDALS

CAMPAGNOLO 3 PART LO FLANGE QUICK RELEASE HUBS

CAMPAGNOLO RECORD HI FLANGE 32/32 HUBS

MAFAC STRADDLE HANGERS AND REAR CABLE HANGER

MAFAC LEVERS 1960s WITH WHITE HALF HOODS

MAFAC RACER CALIPERS

LYCETT L15NR SADDLE SIMILAR TO BROOKS

GB COUREUR 66 BRAKE CALIPERS

These can all be viewed via my user name of Bikepacker. I have put fixed posting rates from the UK to US so that bidders know exactly the total cost before bidding.

On the subject of FB hubs – also my favourites particularly the hi flange with inner and outer holes – Nice! I always had the impression that all the hubs made by Campagnolo in the 50s prior to the one-piece alloy ones, were made by FB. I know that many people find the idea that Campy subcontracted out manufacture as nothing short of blasphemous, but I can tell you from my near 30 years in the European bike trade, that they did, and frequently!
