I think that this price (just like the TA headset) DOES reflect the increasing rarity and desirability of certain old bicycle goodies, and honestly, like John Barron has been saying, it's time CR & other vintage-istas wake up and smell the roses!

FWIW, in this set sold at auction, the fork crown was not a Nervex Pro but a Wagner, (even more popular with neo-classic fans, ala Toei, etc.) Also, while the lugs and fork might be occasionally seen, the BB shells are less so. Making that ensemble worth $300 + - to quite a few folks.

Very hard to find the lugs, BB and fork crown as a set - let alone the lugs.

I might have been temped myself if I knew about the auction.

On your other point - if anyone has a cheap trashed frame with nervex pro or legere lugs that isn't worth the repair cost - I'd be interested in trying to recycle the lugs (no metric tubing sizes please). A front ender victim with bent fork and frame would be the perfect candidate. Anyone out there got anything like that - let me know off list. The transplant doctor is in.

Hi all,

I don't post often, but enjoy the archives frequently. Following the $600 headset thread, I have to ask: are nervex professional lugs getting this hard to find?

Item # 200066890087 Wow. Should I start un-brazing my old Raleighs and auctioning off the lugs? I'm planning to build my own vintage-style track frames, as the originals seem unattainable. Darcy Warn, somewhat perplexed by the ongoing grab for 20th century relics,
