<< My father has donated to me a bunch of old bicycle parts. I brought them to an old timer at the local lightweight bike shop and he referred my to your site. He said that some of my stuff is pretty rare and there is good demand for it but he wouldn't know well what the market value is. I would like to put all of the eligible stuff of up on your site so it can be enjoyed by vintage fans rather than sit in a closet for 30 years or go into the trash.

The problem is that I don't necessarily know what I have well enough to describe it accurately and even if I did to set a price.

Here is an example of some of the things I have:

Front Wheel - weighless? hub, arc n' ceil rim, radial spoke. Front Wheel - Campy Record high flange hub, arc n' ceil rim, radial spoke various campy record hubs - record front hub, 5 sp rear hub (shell only) multiple sets of early campy quick release skewers 2 campy crank sets - 177.5mm w/chainrings.

I believe my father is sitting on more stuff just lying around his home and it would be nice to know what stuff has value so I can tell him to save it.

Is there someone I can talk to who could help me write an accurate description of the stuff I have and put a price on it. I want to price the stuff attractively because I really want it to go to someone who would really appreciate it.

I live in Redwood City, CA about 35 miles south of San Francisco.

my home phone number is 650.364.2066. cell phone is 408.529.2228
