HARDEN SMALL FLANGE GEAR SIDED HUBS 32/40H drilling The small flange variety of Harden hubs are the rarest version. These are in excellent condition with perfect threads. Exceptionally rare and much better for use with 26in rims than the large flange version. $195

MAFAC TIGER BRAKES This is a really nice pair of the rare Mafac Tiger brakes complete with levers, hangers and straddle wires. These are now very rare and use the same type of brake shoe as the fabled Mafac Top-63 brakes. One of the callipers appears to be unused. They date from the early 1960s. $220

WITCOMB 22in TRACK FRAME 1950s This is a very rare example of a 22in (centre to top) Witcomb track frame and was according to the shop built around 1954 to 1955. It has a 22in top tube and features the most beautifully hand cut and finely filed cast lugs which look as if they started out as Oscar Egg lugs. The lugs have beautiful small triangular windows. The bottom bracket has been drilled for lightness and the seatstay bridge is a very graceful slender curved affair. The round section forks are fully chromed and the chrome is in very good order. There are race number bosses on the top tube. The frame is in excellent order ­ the only small damage are a couple of very small dents on the top tube ­ which are honurable battle wounds on a 45 year old track frame. I have never seen a Witcomb frame of such quality. The fork crown is drilled for a brake and was probably used in Britain for short distance time trialling as well as the track. Please email me for pictures. $240
