A few items not seen regularly.

Hub collector? Looking for the BEST rolling coasterbrake hub ever made? Was used in Tour De France! 1, (One) F&S Torpedo 36H single speed coasterbrake hub. Marked: F u S; Reichenbach (East Germany); 50 (think was made in 1950); System Sachs; <D.R.P.> (Deutsches Reichs Patent) I think this hub was made in East Germany just before the DDR was formed. This is the hub copied by Perry, Renak, etc., and I read that the Germans maybe others used it before the war and derailleurs in the TdF. Hub is beautiful with shiny original chrome, no rust, rolls as free as most loose bearing regular hubs, includes 20X1/8 pitch cog. standard threaded cog fits, so a 1" cog could be put on, original lockring. Fixing and oldie but goodie or just building your hub collection, this is for you! $25 plus shipping.

1, (one) only, Weinmann 650B alloy rim, 36H, NOS, shopworn, probably '60's. domeshaped center with about 2mm edge each side. Will polish up very nicely. $10 plus shipping.

1, (one) pair IRC gumwall 26X1-3/8 S-6 Schwinn 'lightweight' bike tires. These fit the Schwinn straight side S-6 rims that came on the single, 3, and 5-Sp 26" wheels models so popular in the '50's -'70's. These are as new with mould surplus tips and selvage on sides and still on much of the tread center.Includes tubes that were in the tires when I took the wheels apart for the hubs. $20 plus shipping

See the rare bike these wheels were on at the Custom Bike Show in San Diego starting April 9th.,courtesy of John Waner.

1, (one) pair very used rusty but straight 26X1.375 36H hook edge bead rims that came on all non-Schwinn 26" "lightwate" bikes that matched the Schwinn models. All the spokes unscrewed and those are free with the rims. they could be replated or painted, are strate, just a few small dents, could be assembled and ridden as are. These rims took the S-6 tires even tho the tires are straight side. You old time bikies know this, and you could get interchangeable parts if you knew what to buy. Rims (with spokes) $5 plus shipping.
Good bidding and riding.
