Hi everyone,

Offered for sale to CR members is a very pretty Vicini frame complete with some nicely panto'd parts. There's quite a number of nice and not so common parts: a Cinelli steel stem, Harden hubs, Constrictor and Alumlite 27in rims, MA2 32H rims, Sturmey and GB wingnuts, Simplex TDF gear, Cobalto brakes, Top-63 brakes, an early 3TTT Record stem, GB catalogue, Campy crown race remover and 1970s Dura-Ace front gear. There's also a copy of the rare and now out of print book The Sturmey Archer Story.

I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal, cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer.

With the pound being low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. All have pictures you can check out on Photobucket.

This one has lovely panto\u2019d lugs, aero rear brake cable routing, gear cable routing through the chainstay, panto\u2019d BB shell and slotted fork ends both front and rear. The bottom bracket and headset are included as well as the panto\u2019d stem, Campag SR seatpost and Campag SR chainrings. 295 GBP Pictures can be viewed at: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Vicini-road.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Vicini-road-dets.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Vicini-chainrings.jpg

CAMPAGNOLO C-RECORD COBALTO BRAKE CALLIPERS Offered for sale is a very good/excellent pair of Campagnolo C-Record Cobalto brake callipers. 59 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Campag-Cobalto-callipers.jpg

STURMEY ARCHER STORY THE book on hub gears New Unused copy Offered for sale is a new and unused copy of The Sturmey Archer Story by Tony Hadland. This is the definitive work on Sturmey Archer and many other hub gears too. Anyone remotely interested in intrigue will be fascinated by how the 3-speed hub gear was not Henry Sturmey nor Archer\u2019s invention though it carries their name. It also describes in detail all Sturmey gears in a very practical manner explaining how each one works etc and has lots of extremely useful illustrations. 192 pages. 39 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Sturmey-Archer-Story.jpg

GB FRONT WINGNUTS These will clean and polish very nicely. 19 GBP

CINELLI STEEL STEM 12cm This stem is in very good/excellent condition; the chrome plating has only a few marks - there is a rub mark on the clamp area, two light marks from a vice near the bolt and a little chrome has lifted under the arch. But overall the stem looks really very beautiful with a clear Cinelli stamp and it has not been replated. 69GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Cinelli-Steel-stem.jpg

STURMEY ARCHER HUB WINGNUTS in very good condition and from the 1940s/50s. 29 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Sturmey-wingnuts.jpg

ALUMLITE 27 x 1 1/4in RIMS 1940s/early 50s Part NOS 32/40H Alumlite aluminium rims are really rather rare and have a very distinctive stepped profile - the front rim has been slightly used whilst the rear is still in its original packaging... Much, much rarer than Constrictors 115 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Alumlite-27s.jpg

CONSTRICTOR CONLOY 27 x 1 1/4in 32/40H RIMS the front one is in excellent lightly worn condition, the rear shows some signs of wear but has plenty of life left in it. These are not corroded and will clean up and polish well - they have some marks but nothing serious. Constrictor rims in this sort of condition rarely turn up and have in recent times been fetching £200 on Ebay. 90 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Constrictor-27s-2nd.jpg

MAVIC MA2 700C 32H rims - these are in very nice condition with only light wear to the braking surfaces and have the later decals but earlier repro style decals are available. 39 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/MA2-32H.jpg

HARDEN LARGE FLANGE GEAR/FIXED HUBS 32/40H 118/120mm OLD with threads for a multiple speed freewheel on one side (up to 5spd) and a single fixed sprocket on the other. These use imperial sized cartridge bearings which can still be obtained and these bearings feel excellent. The hub shells are also very clean except on their fixed side of the rear where a chain has caused a little damage to the flanges. 95 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Harden-LF-GF.jpg

SIMPLEX TOUR DE FRANCE REAR GEAR NOS I think it\u2019s a 4spd 3/32 though it is not marked - its all NOS except for top pivot spring and bolt. Early 1950s 45 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Simplex-TDF-rear-gear.jpg

MAFAC TOP-63 BRAKESET in very good condition complete with correct levers, bridges and stops (these are not shown in the pics). Just one straddle wire is missing. The TOP-63 brakes are really rather rare. 175 GBP These normally fetch more than $500 on Ebay. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Mafac-Top-63-brakes.jpg

3TTT RECORD 9.5cm HANDLEBAR STEM - this is an early type with hex nut clamp fastening. Late 60s/early 70s. 15 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/3TTT-95cm-stem.jpg

GB CATALOGUE from late 60s/early 70s with loads of details on the brakes, bars, stems etc 14 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/GB-catalogue.jpg

CAMPAGNOLO FORK CROWN RACE REMOVER Offered for sale is an excellent Campagnolo fork crown race remover. 15 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Campag-crown-race-remover.jpg

SHIMANO DURA-ACE FRONT DERAILLEUR Early 1970s Offered for sale is an excellent Shimano Dura-Acefront derailleur from the early 1970s. 15 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Shimano-Dura-Ace-front-gear.jpg
