Following for sale or trade:
1. 23 1/2 inch center to top dawes frame. plain guage 531 main triangle. root beer brown color, guessing from the 70's with foil seat tube decals. chrome fork tips, crown, and and rear triangle. pretty nice lugs. Paint in excellent condition as are the decal but as usual the foil seat tube decal is a bit crinkled. would make a nice commuter or fixed gear. comes with BB, headset, weinmann CP. asking 100.00 plus shipping
2. 26.4 simplex badged seat post in clean shape. 30.00
3. small flange red label with original dust caps, normandy luxed competition hubs or wheel set. I got these hubs, took some wolber super champion 700c rims to the bike shop and asked them to measure and sell me spokes. I built them up and they gave me the wrong length spokes. the wheelse are built up and you can either have them as is and trim the spokes yourself (36 holes 3x) or I'll take them apart and you can have just the hubs. 50.00 for the hubs, 80.00 as is.
4. stronglight 93 crankset with original 52/42 chainrings in very nice shape. no rub marks, rings in good shape too. french pedal threads. 40.00
5. stronglight 49d crank arms with roger durham 51 tooth extremely eliptical and goofy chainring. crank arms fair condition. definately good for a rider. french pedal threads. they might actually turn out a bit nicer if you polish them more than I did. 25.00
6. CLB brake levers in scratch free but a little grimey shape. Unsure of the exact model but they have a slot cut into the lever for a round headed brake cable. very interesting, nice profile. 20.00
email me for pics. prices do not include shipping, which should only be 5.00 for priorty shipping. I'm looking for the following in trade: TA 3 arm crankset, 3 piece high flange campy front hub or 700c wheel with said hub, brooks b-17. Also wanted to buy or trade, english frame, around 21-22 1/2 inches in size, preferably something with interesting lugs, condition not too much of an issue, scratched but presentable original paint would be great. Just looking to build up a bit of path racer with some steel campy parts.
