(1) Paramount chainring, 23T, customized to fit 1/8X1/2" chain size!!?? Never saw this done on a P. ring, teeth have been narrowed and shaved to fit a regular 1/2" roller chain and still look like 1" ring. Tricky and a great check this out item for coffee shop or bike show. $25 plus shipping.

(1) pair 27X1-1/4 or 32X630 if you will, seem NOS, str side Kenda gumwall tires, 90/95# rating. Includes tubes and rim strips. These are takeoffs but doubt if ever used as they have all the selvage and tips from the moulds. Came on a Paramount that will return to tubulars. $25 plus shipping.

(3) used rims, 36H, 27X1-1/4 Dunlop high pressure with dimples for spoke heads. Two have been cleaned and are 1/2 chrome and bare metal, one is surface brown rust and can be cleaned likewise or they could be refinished. A few small dents on sidewall brake surface but really nice and straight so could be assembled and ridden as is. Probably late '40's or '50's and no holes or rust thru spots. Includes one set of 3X HF take off spokes for free with rims. Cosmetically challenged so only$5 for all three rims, plus shipping.

(3) Pair used 36H iron clad rims for single tube tires, 28X1-1/2". I set is cleaned, two sets are surface rust , rims are '20/'30's vintage. These rims have some very small dents at rim edge from riding but all are straight and sound with no rust holes and can be assembled and ridden just as are. Both surface rust pair have 72 take off spokes free with rims, the cleaned pair has 36 take off spokes included. Iturned all the nipples out, so all spokes can be used again for vintage authenticity. I have seen these rims painted to match or contrast framesets, or even rechromed. But then the fluid has to be washed out with water to clean out any acid from chroming process and prevent corrosion. Doesn't hurt wood. The cleaned pair actually is a full metal jacket, so the wood is entirely encased, no nipple washers needed. Take 'em all, 25 bucks, or $10 /pair your choice, includes the spokes mentioned , plus shipping cost.
