Hey, all!
I can't knowledgebly comment on the dark blue Campy boxes, as I have never actually held one...the yellow boxes have been around since at least 1970 (the earliest I remember), and the green boxes were used for 'Gran Sport' and '980', '990', and some 'Valentino' bits. Hope this has been of some help...
Got some more goodies for sale- PayPal preferred; except for the Legnano bike, prices include shipping in the lower 48 states.Pix available on request. 1) mid-70's Legnano 'Tipo Roma Olympiad'- 57cm (c2t), 56.5cm top tube. All '531' construction, all Campy NR except for Universal 'Super 68' brakes (Campy brakes available for $75 more) and a 'Nitor' seatpost, and 'Gran Sport' pedals. Paint is a bit rough, chrome is excellent. 3ttt 'Special' stem, Cinelli #4 saddle. Wheels are tubulars- campy hi-flange hubs, Fiamme yellow-label rims. Tires are in marginal condition, and should be replaced. Asking $600 + shipping 2)Ideale 90 saddle, w/ alloy rails- I have given up on locating the necessary seatpost clamp parts- if you have these bits, then here is a great deal...saddle has lots of patina, but no major trauma. $75 3)Titan 'Luxe' track stem, 95mm. Chrome is in fair condition, all hardware is original. $85 4)GB 'Tour of Britain' handlebar- beautifully engraved, great condition. 25.4mm clamp, 40.5cm width. $45 5)Bleumels' 'Airweight' aluminum fender (sorry, I only have the rear). Great condition; includes original hardware. $45 (because of it's size, it will be a bit spendy to ship) 6)Benelux 'suicide' front derailleur- this is the one that you twist the lever to actuate; works best with half-step close-ratio gearing, beautiful condition. Original cage has been replaced with a Simplex unit; I will throw in another NOS Simplex cage with it. $95 7) Sturmey-Archer AW 3-speed wheelset- Alloy shell, dated 1952. 36/36, Weinmann 27" dimpled rims, stainless spokes, Normandy front hub, excellent condition. $150 8)M.A.F.A.C. brake levers- not open-back, but very old- cable adjusters screw directly in to the lever body. Some scratches that would polish out pretty easily, $80 9)Nitto cr-mo track handlebar- NJS stamp, 42cm width, as-new condition- $45\ 10)Weyless hubs- 2 fronts, 1 rear, w/ original QR skewers. One hub is a bit rough, the other two are smooth. Need a good polishing, but totally serviceable- $100 for all 3. 11)Simplex QR skewers, w/ black rubber covers- 2 rear, 1 front- 2 are missing the plastic wing nuts, all are in excellent condition. $95 for all three 12)1st generation Super Record seat post (2-bolt model), 27.2, all areas above the minimum insertion mark are in excellent condition. $80 13)Simplex 'Ridgidex' rear derailleur (c.1952)- 3- or 4-speed compatible, this is the 'aftermarket' model- it will mount on any bike, and does not require a proprietary braze-on or hanger. Very good condition- $145
As always, I am open to reasonable offers or trades- I am looking for a Mondia 'Special' headbadge, 3ttt bars (any non-anatomic model) in 44cm width, a nice set of Campy NR brake levers (hoods not necessary), and some Galli brake levers (gunmetal anodized, w/hoods). All items are first-come, first-served!
