I was digging around in my basement today and came across a couple bags of frame building pieces. I have *WAY* more than I'll ever use myself; perhaps some of you frame builders on the list might be interested.

The BB cable guides (old-style; top-mounted) were removed from frames at Trek back in the early 80's when we converted from top-mounted guides to a plastic guide beneath the BB shell. The marketing guys wanted all the frames that year to have the new-fangled guides, so we had to remove them from frames that already had them installed. They're mostly Campagnolo, but some Cinelli and unknown/unmarked ones as well. Despite having been on frames, they're all quite usable and "pre-silvered" as it were... :-)

I don't remember where I got the diamonds; they're all NOS with plenty of metal to accommodate extravagant filing.

If you're interested, contact me off-list and we'll work something out.
