Hi CR folks,

Had many requests - but all the tires are sold. The Ergal rims are still available.

> Hi CR Gang,

\r?\n> Cleaning house and time to sell more stuff.

\r?\n> Item A - A lot of 4 NOS Fiamme Ergal Rims all unused with pretty reasonable

\r?\n> labels, but the rims are a bit dusty and perhaps slightly shopworn. But they

\r?\n> should polish up just fine and be absolutely gorgeous - but that is for the new

\r?\n> owner to do. Will sell the lot with shipping in the US for $215. Remember that

\r?\n> Ergal rims are extremly light and can shatter if hit hard - but for many, they

\r?\n> are the ultimate vintage rim. Would use only with 5 or 6speed, or low-dish 7

\r?\n> speed. Again, these rims are magic for many folks - but for those who go

\r?\n> "clunk" alot or don't unweight the bike on bumps, things may not end well.

\r?\n> Item B - A pair of Vittoria Italian made tububulars - one CX, one CG, but the

\r?\n> cool thing is they have a nifty Italian Cycling Federation label on them in

\r?\n> addition to the typical label. Appear to be the tail end of true made-in-Italy

\r?\n> production based on the rather late style labels. They still seem extremely

\r?\n> supple, but buyer is urged to inspect and decide if safe for use (I'd use'em,

\r?\n> but if you get them and aren't happy you can return them - but I doubt you

\r?\n> will!). $125 shipped in the US.

\r?\n> Item C - A pair of older NOS Vittoria CX tubulars with the older green label.

\r?\n> Rarely do older Vittoria tires seem to turn up. But the cool thing is that

\r?\n> these also have DeRosa printed on a panel next to the main label. The DeRosa

\r?\n> printing, though, is very faint - but how often do you ever see these at all?

\r?\n> These tires hold air, but not for too long. Just pumped them up and they are

\r?\n> fine, but I recall pumping them up last year and they lost a good bit of air

\r?\n> overnight. But for a display set of wheels on a vintage DeRosa, these are the

\r?\n> ultimate find. They will be perfect for Cirque display or other venues.

\r?\n> Otherwise the tires are in nice NOS shape but I can tell they are not supple

\r?\n> like new tires, so riding them is NOT advised. $125 including shipping for the

\r?\n> pair.

\r?\n> All items first come-fist served. An email saying "I'll take them" with your

\r?\n> address and how you want to pay will do the trick - and I'll confirm. All items

\r?\n> will be shipped ONLY within the US - no foreign shipping as going to the post

\r?\n> and waiting in line is just not feasible on these, sorry.
