Hi Crew, It is Christmas time guys!!! Forget about buying, selling,
trading, wheeling and dealing and how about a good old fashioned gift
giving. Although mainly a lurker, when I have needed help, support,
advice or parts there has always been a raft of support, with no
obligations, coming from the CR listmembers worldwide. My chance to
return the goodwill - and what better time than now. What I have are 10
sets of wheel cable guides which are a braze-on item where two tiny
steel posts are attached to the top of the BB shell, tiny alloy wheels
are screwed within the cut-out of the posts and are secured by miniscule
threaded screws.
This set up is what I use on my 50s Malvern Star 5 Star and makes
shifting almost effortless and smooth. These items were actually
smuggled out of the old Malvern Star factory in the early 60s. This
technology surpassed everything from that time on - almost zero cable
friction and lighter that most vintage BB cable guides. I will post
these to the first 10 CR listmembers that have a reasonable use for
these - as they should be used - not just looked at, for FREE anywhere
in the world.
I have posted a photo of the pieces in my Yahoo

Have a wonderful Xmas,
