Jim,
Cool collection of frame bits. The sort of thing only a framebuilder might get a woody over. There's nothing more fun than running into an ex-framebuilders' old stash. Hope someone can make good use of that pile of framebuilder candy. Looks like someone just emptied their Halloween booty to check out what they got.
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA These things aren't that good to eat, but they would make some dandy frames.
In case anyone is interested in filling an empty shop drawer, I just listed
17 pounds of somewhat old framebuilding lugs, bottom brackets, fork crowns,
dropouts and braze-on bits, including some Art Stump and Henry James (though
not a lot). The entire lot was given to me recently by Jim Oxford who built
Oxford frames in Bonny Doon, California from 1982 until about 1988. He is
now working for a high-tech firm in San Francisco and out of framebuilding.
I set the reserve at $60.
Here's a link to the listing

Good luck if you decide to bid, Jim Langley Santa Cruz, California Still stuck in the 70s (the years, not the temperature)
