I would like to sell all of the following as a single complete package. All are new, unused:

Nervar 5-pin chromed steel cottered crank arms, 170mm, NOS * with pair of new cotters, nuts, washers Williams 5-pin 3/16" x 1" pitch steel chainrings: * 22t (= 44t x 1/2") date code: AY = 1957 * 29t (= 58t x 1/2") date code: AS = 1953 * one set of 5 correct original chainring bolts Diamond (US made) 3/16" roller chain, NOS, 5 feet long (= 120 links in 1/2") * also partial box of additional Diamond NOS links (14) with box Campagnolo 3/16" x 1" track cog NOS 7 tooth (=14 x 1/2")

[... I am also including a bayliss-Wiley #15 axle which appears to be a perfect fit... possibly used, but VG condition with light rust on a few spots, but clean & smooth bearing surfaces.]

The chainrings are unused, but both have numerous very light shallow surface scratches on the fronts from shuffling around for 50+ years - may buff out, I wouldn't even bother, and certainly will not need re-chrome. Only tiny pinpoint spots of any rust on either, and that is on the back sides. I didn't see any indications of chips or flaking of the chrome. Crank arms may be newer. These too are unused and show absolutely no rust any shopwear. I'd like $250 plus shipping for everything. May sound high, but where can you find NOS anything in that size any more ... it took me forever just to gather it all. Perhaps someone has a suitable frameset? I do not, so it's CR list or eBay... shipping weight will probably be 5-6 pounds, so a better deal for US buyers. I will accept charge or bank transfers via PayPal or else Money Order.
