I have a number of items for trade (preferably) or sale. Trying to clean out my stash so that I can concentrate on post-war British only (and pay my daughter's tuition!) Items will NOT necessarily go to first responder; per reasons below.
First priority will go to anyone who can offer me something on my wish list in trade (or partial trade).
Second priority will go to those who identify a project for which the item is desired. I prefer to assist someone who needs, for example, a proper set of pista HB's to complete his 1961 Pog rather than someone just adding to their stash.
Negative priority will go to anyone offering more money than I am asking; so please do not tempt me. My pricing is not perfect - and may well be too high; esp for the less common. If they don't find a new home now, look for them on Ebay soon! Feel free to offer less, although priority will go to full price offers.
I will wait until noon (EDT) Wednesday, 5 September before responding, so that digest receiving members get a chance to offer in trade that stem or badge I need - before finding out that it has been sold. (I had planned to not send this email until Monday, but someone had located the items in my Wool Jersey album and had made a cash offer). There is no rush to respond as long as it is by early morning on Wednesday!
My wish list:
1. Chrome British headset appropriate for 1955 Claude Butler Path Racer. Excellent condition or better required. (the Campagnolo one (steel, non-pista) just doesn't seem proper)
2. Headbadge for same bike
3. British-made Chrome pista stem, preferably 10-12 cm
4. used (but usable) brown Brooks Swallow saddle; vintage not critical. The Brook Champion Sprinter B17 is just too much of an ass hatchet for my derriere!!! That will be available for a future trade.
5. mid-fifties (or so) 27.2 mm alloy seatpin
6. Proper BB to make my 1964 Rudge pathfinder work. BB is circa 71 mm wide, cottered spindle probably needs to be circa 134 mm overall. I want to use a Rudge "hand" chainset (single non-changeable chainring)
7. last but certainly not least!!!!
23 or 23.5 inch very high quality English path racer from 1946-1961. Gillott, Hurlow, Carpenter, etc. Frameset or complete bike, original, restored, or restorable. Will give it a good home!
