I have simply run out of room. I have three bikes I am intending to sell. I was hoping to take them to the Monson swap this weekend but they are predicting a blizzard in these parts so, before they go the Ebay way, I am offering them to the list. They are as follows:

1. 1980 Dave Moulton built Paris-Sport track bike. The bike measures 50.5cm c to c and 51.5cm c to t with a 52cm c to c top tube. It was clearly built by Moulton as it has his distinctive decal on the seatube and the distinctive seat stay caps found on his Fuso marque. The bike is essentially unridden except for some laps around Central Park. I am the second owner. It is dark red (there are a couple of very minor paint scratches from long term storage, easily touched up) and built with Columbus tubing. The bike is kitted out with full Campy track groupo including chrome track pedals and campy two bolt seat post, Cinelli track bars and stem, and Avocet saddle. The rims are Super Champion Arc-En-Ciel. I am asking $700 plus shipping.

2. 1974 Flandria fitted with first generation Dura-Ace parts. The bike measures 52cm c to c and 53cm c to t with a to tube of 55cm c to c. The rear derailleur remains a Shimano Crane which they used in the first year of Dura-Ace production. It is fitted with an SR stem, and Mavic Compionnat Du Monde tubular rims. This bike was sold on ebay several years ago as NOS. It is still NOS, actually NIB. I recieved it in the original Flandria Carton which I still have. They only thing that I have done to it is to put the wheels on, turn round the handlebars, and instally the KKT pedals. It has never been ridden. When the bike was first sold to me by Greg Osborne I was told that it lacked a seatpost. It seems the distributor probably needed one and took it off this bike. I have added an appropriate post. This was the year that the Flandria team, headed by Freddy Maertens, introduced Dura-Ace components to the Tour de France. This is not, however, a team bike. I think it must be one step down built with vitus or similar tubing. I am asking $650 plus shipping.

3. Finally, a very early 50's Malvern 5 Star path racer. This bike is unrestored but still has the original seat and down tube decals largely intact which is why I have left it in its original state. It is rust red in color with white head tube. Size is 54.5cm c to c and 55.5cm c to t with a 57cm c to c top tube. I am selling the bike with integral head set, bottom bracket and seat post binder bolt. I have built the bike up and would be willing to sell some of the part with it if they are wanted. Those parts include perfectly chromed Utility cranks (postwar name to get around export problems from the UK..probably BSA or Williams), Aussie track bar and and newly chromed stem, and seat post. Asking $600 plus shipping.
