Hi,
I'm building up a frame, specifically as a test bed for some new Velo Orange racks and other products and I am looking for the following items, should anyone have extra stuff to sell.
-A set of inexpensive touring wheels with a 130 or 135 rear hub that can take 28mm tires. These can be either cassette or freewheel. I should mention that the wheels I'd like to buy will probably be ridden to the point of destruction with stupidly overloaded racks on goat paths by a big rider with only marginal bikehandling skills. :<) So they should be cheap and strong. I have a very nice pair of Campy Chorus freewheel hubs laced to Mavic MA-40 rims in okay, but not stellar condition I'd be happy to trade..
-Some Cyclo-tourist type chainrings, an outer with 45 to 48 teeth and an inner with 28 to 34 teeth, or close.
-A couple pair of cheap wider silver handlebars to so I can try various bar covers and tapes (I already have extra stems and brake levers).
-Any trashed old brake lever hoods that I can use for patterns in developing leather hoods.
I can Paypal, send a check, or trade for products.
Thanks,
Chris
