A couple of years ago, Beloved Spouse* and I bought an off-topic tandem whose owner suggested that we remove the collected bikes and junk from his garage. The collection must have included the contents of some old bike shop. I will bring to Cirque a couple of boxes of Sturmey-Archer bits and pieces, for sale cheaply. Too many and too diverse to list here, and too much trouble to mail out now.

Of course, there is always the possibility that Joel Ralph Flood or Sam FitzSimmons or someone else smarter than I am about business will leave Cirque with the boxes still nearly full...

Richard. most bike shops should carry them, still made. they sell for a dollar or two. the newer(read 1960s-on) are plastic. the older ones were metal. joel ralph flood philadelphia, PA usa
