Y'all may not realize that "back in the day" I made several custom frames which were rarely confused with the finest builders of the era. :) On Ebay I have listed some stuff that remains from my attempts.

About 1.25 bikes worth of tubing, mostly Reynolds 531. Of greatest interest might be the fork blades which I *think* are the old narrow 531 blades. If your interested I am happy to measure and be sure.

Three-ish sets of lugs. One nice cast set with cast BB and fully sloping fork crown, another nice stamped set with semi sloping cast fork crown and nice stamped BB, last set a lesser quality stamped set, nice stamped BB shell and no crown. A pair of Campy long rear drops and fronts with eyelets (and an additional front drop). A pair of Campy Track rear drops with Suntour Superbe pro fronts.

A fork raking mandrel made of aluminum.

I think this is all best for another amateur who wants to play, but the old style fork blades , dropouts and cast lugs might be of interest to a real builder.
