STRATA ALUMINIUM STEM RARE & GORGEOUS Strata were one of a number of British cycle component companies that sprang up at the end of WWII. This beautiful 2 3/4in stem is in very good condition apart from the handlbar clip and expander bolts being a little rusty. It will polish up beautifully and will go perfectly with the Strata bars below. $40
STRATA AERTS BARS 39cm wide (c-to-c). These are in very good condition with just a little very light scoring around the bar clamp area - all hidden by the stem. Shapewise they are similar to a Pelissier or Binda with pretty much standard forward reach and depth but reaching forward in more of a curve than Maes. I have not seen another Aerts bar before. $55
3TTT SADDLE NOS - 1970s very similar to a black suede padded Unicanitor a few small marks but unused $25
BROOKS SWIFT TITANIUM RAILED SADDLE dark brown, this saddle has been used and the nose bolt has been adjusted outwards about half way. New these saddles are 75 GBP ($110). Some smalllish marks but nothing serious $55
GB SPEARPOINT ALUMINIUM STEM 10cm Rare with drilling for centre-pull brake cable , some small marks but should polish nicely. $45
BAYLISS WILEY LARGE FLANGE DOUBLE FIXED HUB NOS It is the earlier pattern dating from the late 1940s or early 1950s with just four holes per flange. Perfect condition. $65
HURET DE LUXE BRONZE WING NUT SET NOS These an excellent pair of NOS Huret de luxe bronze wing nuts. There is a little tarnishing to the washer but of course unlike most secondhand ones they are straight. $45
PRE-WAR REYNOLDS ALUMINIUM STEM VERY GOOD 6.5cm with expander bolt. There are a very few marks on the aluminium but there are no cracks around the the top of the quill which is a common fault with these stems. It has the correct original, two clamp bolts and the correct expander bolt. $45
