Mark Stevens said "I have been salting away some Milremo bits and pieces. ... 5 pin steel 'Course' cranks ... a pair of wheels with Large flange hubs and a Cinelli stem which is fitted with a Milremo badge. A pair of fine red plastic mudguards and a pair of steel pedals. ...I am planning a build which incorporates as much Milremo as possible ... on a 1958 Gillott. The bike already has its original Mafac Dural forge brakes, Brooks B17 (cutaway) saddle and Campagnolo shifters. ...I dont think Milremo were offering their own derailleurs, headsets or seat pillars back then. Does any body know?..."

In addition to those Milremo parts you listed, here are other Milremo parts you could add

from 1960 Ron Kitching Everything Cycling catalogue: Milremo 5 pin chainwheels, freewheel, handlebars, pump, tubular and wired-on rims, tubular tyres,

from 1963 Ron Kitching Everything Cycling catalogue: water bottle, water bottle cage, centerpull brakes and levers, handlebar end stop, handlebar tape, pedal tongues, toeclips, toestraps, wired-on tyres, spoke disc protector

Through these catalogues, no derailleurs, headsets or seat pillars listed. I assumed you would not want to know after 1963, so I did not check later catalogues. .... Peter
