Hello list-friends, please consider the following items for sale:

1.) Campagnolo Nuovo Record seatpost / seatpin, diameter 25.8mm, unused, new-in-box, perfect, classic two-bolt model in tan box. $73 will include shipping in lower 48 states. Offers entertained.

2.) Araya polished alloy rims, 40-hole, 27" x 1 1/4", new in factory paper wrapping, four to sell at $30 each plus shipping at cost. One of these makes a good start on a 32 / 40 pair...or put two under a tandem, or touring machine.

3.) Huret Jubilee front derailleur, low-mileage used but very-good-to-excellent condition, $65 incl. shipping to lower 48.

4.) Circa 1971 Raleigh Super Course 23" frameset (toptube is 56cm) with a fair number of original parts; Nervex lugs, Reynolds 531 (plain guage) tubing, original bronze-green finish. Paint shows patina, maybe 6.5 out of ten, but transfers are better than that, 8 out of ten, say. I wouldn't repaint it. Chrome ends front and rear are good. This one has the very thin 'Raleigh' script logo in gold on the down tube. Parts include original Stronglight cottered crankset with 52 / 42 Stronglight steel rings, orig. GB bars and stem, headset, Weinmann 999 brakeset with Carlton hoods and the associated cables. Original pedals. A G.P. Brev (believe that's Gipiemme) fluted one-bolt alloy seatpost is installed and will be included. The frameset will need only a saddle, wheels, shifters, deraillers and chain to complete. $140 (plus shipping, $45 in the continental U.S.)

5.) 1958 Raleigh Lenton Grand Prix, Reg Harris Road Model in a small size: 51cm center-to-center seatube (53 cm c-t-t) with a 54cm top-tube. As above this is about 1/2 of a complete bike. Sale will include frameset (regrettably resprayed red and not terribly glossy; use as is or restore), original Williams crankset with 49 and 46 tooth rings (outer has three beautiful, small-scale Heron heads), original GB Sport mk III brake calipers, original lugged steel stem and bars to match. Original headbadge is present. Original headset & steel seatpin. Frame and fork are straight, and this frame would be a great basis for a project. It's built of 531 butted tubing (main tubes), has wonderful semi-fancy jet-age looking lugs, and brazeons on for pump, Cyclo shifter, cable guides at six or seven o'clock position (and on rear stay), and fork-mount lamp. Build up for everyday use, or scrupulously restore; as it stands, it is midway between the two. $150 (plus $45 shipping within the continental U.S.).

Thank you for looking through my descriptions, and weighing the utility and desirability of the items at hand. I will enjoy conversing with potential customers, and look forward to hearing from you. Sales will be registered in the order that orders are received. Many thanks in advance!
