Here's a few longshot trades I am interested in making. Please contact me offlist if you can help. I have other stuff I can trade and will also purchase items wanted outright also. Thanks in advance.

1. Wanted: NOS 3ttt Superleggera or Competizionne 42 Merckx bend bars; My trade: NOS same in 40cm width Merckx or Gimondi bends available for trade. 2. Wanted: NOS 3ttt "new" Record stem, looks very similar to a Cinelli 1A, in 100 or 105; My trade: NOS same in 90. 3. Wanted: NOS Brooks Swallow, black w/chrome rails; My trade: NOS same in honey with copper rails. 4. Wanted: NOS Mafac Competition caliper set, early style with forged in "Competition" and round bolt hole in brake bridge; My trade: NOS same except with slotted hole in brake bridge for wider adjustment range (wasn't someone on the list looking for these a while ago?). 5. Wanted: NOS Campagnolo NR or SR headset, English; My trade: NOS Stronglight P3 headset 6. Wanted: NOS or mint used Campagnolo SR (Ti spindle) pedal set; My trade: NOS same except SL plus other parts or cash. 7. Wanted: Excellent or better used Stronglight 105 crankset; My trade: ??? what do you need ???

I cannot provide pictures of my items at this time as my camera is on loan to someone I work with - I should have it back next week. All my items are NOS with no shopwear, though the brake calipers and saddle are not boxed anymore.

Happy Birthday America!
