Subject: [CR]ITEMS FOR SALE

I'm preparing to move, and thus I need to lighten the load considerably.

!!!!!!!!Note, if you buy everything you see here, I'll give you a big discount: $100 for everything!!! Be quick though, please!!!!!!!! If I start selling the stuff individually, the deal's off.

All items are priced to move, and there will be more to come.

Please note: I am very busy right now, and prone to disorganization, so, in the interest of everyone getting what they want, I ask the following:

1) when you send payment, by paypal or snail-mail, *please* indicate EXACTLY what you're buying, and send your shipping address with payment. I don't have time to double-check these things. Once you e-mail me to say you want something it's yours, unless you wait too long to pay. So please pay promptly..

2) Once you let me know you're going to buy something, please send payment within 7 days. Otherwise, I will re-list the item and sell it. If your payment is late, I'll just send it back to you.

Please note that all items include shipping. Further note that some items will include some more-or-less useable item, maybe not even bike-related. Such freebies with be distributed based entirely on my whim at the moment.

Thanks.

***1st gen Dura Ace brake calipers. Black anodized, slightly faded. Missing bolt spacers, but they have nuts, not original. lock nuts on the front of the bolts are mis-matched, but could be matched easily enough. One caliper has a set of conventional Campagnolo-style mathauser brake pads. The other caliper has the mathausers with the heat-sinks. The original dura-ace wheel-guides are all there and look good. $20

***Three saddles: Concor San Marco Super Corsa, colored turquoise blue, light padding suede finish, good shape; "Special" leather saddle, made in Japan, silver rivets. As new. Looks like a budget copy of a brooks B-17, black finish, three holes in the middle, with post clamp; Avocet gelflex men's road saddle, gel-padded, good shape: $25 for all three.

***Campagnolo Record Chainring. Early 70s. 141bcd Stamped with the older *PATENT CAMPAGNOLO" stamp. Used but tooth bevels are still there and it is NOT sharked! The front is very, very clean, the back is filthy but will clean up well. 55-tooth! For you big-gear mashers. $30

***Pair of brand new Modolo brake levers, black anodized levers with contrasting silver drillings and logo. No hoods. $15

***Campagnolo Super Record Chainring. 42-tooth. Very slightly sharked, still good for some miles. 1/2 ring-bolt stuck in one hole. Can be removed, with work. $15

***Pivo stem, higher-quality model with forged-in fake-lug connecting the extension to the quill. You know the one. Stamped *PIVO* in an oval on each side of the extension. French diameter. I bought it for an old PX-10 long since sold. OEM spec on many top french bikes of the 70s. $25

***Three derailleurs: Campagnolo front of some kind, probably 80s, maybe a Victory? Dunno. Nicely made, appears to work well. Band-clamp with *Campagnolo* stamped thereon in script writing. C-in-a-diamond stamped on the derailleur body. everything looks intact and original; Campagnolo 980 (?) rear derailleur. Successor to the Nuovo Gran Sport I believe. Rather blocky looking, but functional. Same geometry as the NR and NGS, far as I can tell. Relatively little wear on the light grey plastic idler wheels; Shimano 600 SIS--looks intact, functional, ready to go. Nice derailleur actually. $30 for all.

Stems and Seatposts:

Campagnolo Super Record one-bolt, 27.0, 180mm badly scratched over the logo and on the front between the flutes, the result of an inadequately tightened clamp bolt, clean otherwise; SR two bolt post, Campy-copy, 26.4, 165mm in very good shape except that it's been heavily abraided with a fine grit something-or-other. The top is clean and shiny, the post itself has a satin finish now, upon which you can see a *RALEIGH* stamp. I think someone was trying to buff something out on it. Good user post anyway; Weyless two bolt post, early production probably, good user; a bit dirty now, but should clean up well. I'm not sure of the diameter, there's no stamp ANYWHERE on it (grrrrr). It's loose in a 26.2 Cinelli, so I'm gonna say 26.0;

Stems: Cinelli 1/R with flying C plastic button, but nothing else. Bolt and other clamp hardware missing, 10cm c-c (stems measured from the center of the bolt hole to the center of the bar-clamp area);

Cinelli 1/A flying C-logo; missing bar-clamp bolt, recessed allen bar-clamp bolt required.

Stems and posts above sold all together! $25 for all!!

That's it for now, but there will be more.

"Although the corporatist distaste for the Constitution is nothing new (cf., the deliberate weakening of the First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendments over the last twenty years), the guarantee of an always present danger extends the government's prerogative to enforce whatever rule of law happens to prove convenient to the rule of money."
