Listed below is a group of items which I had set aside to be used on an all weather commuter bike; one of many projects to low on my list to have any desire to still keep and I'm tired of moving the box around. Note please that it is not a complete Shimano Arabesque group:

Shimano 600: Crankset (no BB) with 52/40 rings and self extracting bolts/dust covers. Brake levers (gum hoods are shot) on "SR Sakae Road Champion Randnner" bars and SR stem. Front & rear brake calipers, nutted. Shift levers, clamp on. Front derailleur, clamp on.

Shimano 600????: Rear derailleur with hanger, has arabesque type engraving but is not marked "600," only marked "Shimano" and then the arabesque design.

Shimano: Seat binder allen bolt. Pedals, large platform type, very unusual and comfortable looking, has built in reflector and special little bracket to use standard toe clips (if desired, brakets come off), marked Shimano on bottoms and on top is cast in "fullfit" and "adamas ax."

Sachs Maillard 6 speed freewheel, 13/24.

"Strong" brand fluted alloy seat post made to accept a regular style seat clamp.

Everything is in essentially good condition. All are a bit dirty as I never cleaned them, some of the chrome has very light rust which should easily polish off, chainrings have plenty of life. Some items will probably clean up excellent other will clean up and still just be good. Freewheel is greasy but otherwise excellent. Seatpost has some zigzags and size is measured at 25.0mm.

Everything as a group for $55 plus shipping.

Thanks for looking,
