My efforts to "clean house" of redundant spares yet continues. Once again,
I am offering a few interesting items to the CR list in advance of posting
them for sale on eBay (...you are encouraged to check my feedback in that
other forum under the seller id name "57103"). Pictures and descriptions of
the various "For Sale" items may be found posted to my Wool Jersey album at
http://www.wooljersey.com/
Please correspond directly through my public email address of rsb000@hotmail.com. All inquiries will be handled on a first come, first served basis. If you have any question as to whether an item is still available for sale, PLEASE CHECK FIRST WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED WOOL JERSEY GALLERY as I will be marking items as "SALE PENDING" when someone agrees to their purchase and then mark them as "SOLD" upon actual receipt of payment. All prices quoted herein and at Wool Jersey do not include shipping and/or insurance which will be done at cost. I would be happy to aggregate shipping expenses on multiple items destined for the same physical mailing address where practicable. I accept payment by PayPal, BidPay, cashier's check, money order, or well concealed cash (...mailed at your own risk). Your satisfaction is guaranteed to the extent that you are welcome to return all or part of any purchase for a full refund of monies not to include shipping and/or insurance provided that said merchandise is returned to me in a reasonably timely fashion and that it is in substantially the same condition as when I first sent it out to you (...please let me know in advance of your intentions should this prove to be the case).
I am happy to provide answers to the best of my abilities for whatever questions one might have regarding these items for sale. Please note, however, that even without the additional volume of messages generated through the CR list, I typically receive up to several hundred emails per day, so I am not always as prompt in my replies as I might care to be (...for this, I apologize in advance and hope you will understand that I do have other priorities that require my attentions).

BRAKES
Campagnolo Record / Nuovo Record brake levers - standard non-aero "out the top" cable routing - dark grey colored alloy bodies - post 1973 "long arm / short reach" alloy levers with "rounded point" profile and "U" shaped cable relief opening - pre 1983 cable holder ends marked "BREV CAMP" - includes handlebar strap clamps marked "BREV. CAMPAGNOLO" - no brake hoods - model 2030 - [NOS without packaging - never mounted, never used, and NO "shop wear"] - $45.00 for the pair
Modolo 919 Anatomic brake lever hoods - one matched pair - white - designed for levers having standard non-aero "out the top" cable routing - originally introduced in 1982 for use with their own brake levers, but often retrofit paired with Campagnolo Record / Nuovo Record / Super Record levers and other vintage clones such as SunTour Superbe and Superbe Pro, as well as Shimano Dura-Ace and others due to their excellent ergonomic design - model 919 - [Used in very good condition - slight discolorations along their lower edges that may or may not come off with application of a solvent - otherwise, no rips, no tears, no scuffs, nor other markings - still suitably supple and ready for many more years of use - at the risk of stating the obvious, these are, to use the Queen's English, "handed" which means that you had best take care to note which side is which upon installation lest you accidentally negate any ergonomic advantage to be had] - $15.00 for the pair
Scott / Mathauser first edition finned and curved aluminum brake shoes with specialized thin profile pads comprised of that legendary iron oxide compound and having straight (...not angled) edges - circa 1976 - substantial 51 mm x 9.5 mm rim contact area - standard 7 mm straight post (non-threaded) fitting for use with either cantilever brakes or vintage MAFAC calipers including their Dural Forge, Racer, Competition, GT, or 2000 models - complete set of four shoes with pads, enough for both front and rear application - [Used in near excellent condition (...while these were sold to me as being "NOS", that proved not to be the case - although with very little work and detailing, these might be able to pass for new) - marginal wear if any to the actual braking surfaces themselves (...while these pads tend to last forever, my guess is that these were "take offs" from a show bike and never seriously put to use) - two of the shoes exhibit minor mounting marks on their posts but these are not very deep and could be removed using a Dremel tool if one were so inclined (...although if left "as is", said marks would likely be hidden from view upon re-mounting anyway) - one post has an ever so slight cant to it - either use it that way (...in which case no one will likely notice and performance should not in any way be affected) or if you are bound and determined to pursue perfection, I believe this can be corrected given careful and proper gentle persuasion (...and if the new owner is unfortunate enough to do structural harm to that particular shoe in the process of attempting to correct this supposed malady, they are welcome within a reasonable time frame to send the part in question back to me in exchange for a suitable replacement AT NO CHARGE other than their cost to return same via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation and insurance - that said, if you put any clamp marks in the aluminum, then the aforementioned exchange offer is null and void as I am not interested nor do I have the time to suffer the likes of the amateur antics of a less than professional "bike wrench") - these shoes and pads were acquired for use on a period vintage racer rebuild project of mine, however, in the mean time I managed to come up with two more complete sets of these goodies that actually are NOS / NIB which is the ONLY reason I am now willing to part with these - CAUTION: as with all original Scott / Mathauser finned and curved brake shoes and pads of this vintage, the brake pads themselves have been permanently bonded to the aluminum shoes - how "permanent" this bond may be after thirty years is a matter for speculation - so, if you are inclined to actually ride these as intended, I believe that you would be well advised to either exercise a measure of caution, or perhaps better yet, carefully remove the pads from the shoes and then re-affix same using something along the lines of Loctite Prism 406 (...I have NEVER personally experienced one of these pads separating from its shoe, but I have seen pictures and heard tell of this happening to others) - back in the day when you could buy a decent brand new and complete brakeset consisting of calipers, shoes, pads, levers, and usually cables in the form of Dia-Compe Gran Compe, or Universal Super 68's, or Weinmann 500 De Lux, or MAFAC Competition, for $20.00 or less, a full set of these Scott / Mathauser brake shoes and pads for your special ride set you back a rather stiff $13.00 to $17.00] - $60.00 for the set of four
Scott / Mathauser brake pads - legendary iron oxide compound - size M or 40 mm actual length - intended for use with vintage MAFAC or Dura-Ace calipers but will also work with period Campagnolo Record (NR/SR) , Zeus, and possibly others - complete set of four for both front and rear calipers - model 83363 - [NOS in original packaging - these are the "real deal" - perfect period upgrade for that vintage bike that you actually ride on occasion - likely to outlast and outperform anything else on the market and certainly anything else from their era] - $20.00 for the set of four
Kool-Stop brake pads - salmon colored iron oxide compound - 41.25 mm actual length - intended for use with vintage Campagnolo Record (NR/SR) calipers but will also work with period Dura-Ace, Gran Compe, MAFAC, Zeus and possibly others - complete set of four for both front and rear calipers - model KS-CRSA - [Used for somewhere around one hundred miles (...and most of that was spent moving forward, NOT slowing down or stopping - you can still clearly see the molding seam on the braking surface) - perfect to use on that vintage bike that you actually ride on occasion - will outperform anything else on the market given the same shoe with perhaps the exception of the iron oxide version of same sold under the Scott / Mathauser name] - $10.00 for the set of four
FREEWHEELS
SunTour Winner - 13/34 (13-14-16-18-21-26-34) Ultra 7 circa 1979 to 1983 - narrow 7 speed freewheel for use with 126 mm OLD rear hub spacing - 4 notch removal interface - 1.370 x 24 TPI English thread - model WT-7000 7S-S - [NOS in original packaging - for those living in hillier terrain and having a rear derailleur with appropriate chain wrap capacity - past experience with these freewheels prompts me to STRONGLY suggest that they be used in conjunction only with a post 1978 Sedisport or more modern style narrow bushingless chain design (...like an SRAM PC48, PC58, or PC68) in order to optimize shifting performance] - $25.00
DERAILLEURS / SHIFTERS / PARTS
SunTour Cyclone Mark II front derailleur circa 1981 to 1985 - 28.6 mm clamp-on - alloy body and link pivot arms - stainless steel micro-adjusting clamp - chrome plated steel chain guide - hinged type bottom pull - maximum 18t front chain ring difference - model FD-2300 - [Used in very good condition - one area at the leading edge of the inner chain guide where the chrome plating has been chipped along with the typical light abrasions to the inside of said chain guide indicative of a used component - otherwise, this unit is in superb (...or would that be "superbe" or even "superbe pro" - sorry for the SunTour puns) condition cosmetically - functionally, this derailleur will perform as new, which is to say as well or better than any of its contemporaries - includes a photocopy of the original operations and instruction manual upon request, just remember to ask] - $15.00
SunTour DLW-S dual control shift levers circa 1976 to 1979 - down tube mount - chrome plated steel clamp - integrated cable guides - alloy levers with original SunTour rubber shift lever covers in white - handy "D" ring style tension adjustment screws just like those found on Campagnolo Record shifters from this era - model DLW-S - [Used in excellent condition - very near perfect cosmetically with only the slightest hint of use to be found on the clamp nut and bolt - even the rubber shift lever covers are pristine and without evidence of use - thoroughly disassembled and rebuilt with new grease, these shifters are ready for immediate use - at a time when the original Cyclone components were SunTour's top of the line offering, these DLW-S shifters were number two in their hierarchy] - $15.00
Simplex retrofriction shift levers - original first edition 1974 to 1977 versions having solid lever handles with the Simplex "starburst" logo - suitable for braze-on mounting or even clamp-on if you adapt them to something along the lines of an SLJ, Criterium, or Prestige downtube clamp (...let me know if you need one as I probably have a spare knocking around somewhere) - these are the more common type without the extrusion on the lower part of their housing (...does anyone out there know what those were for anyway?) - the ultimate in downtube shifters from this era, or any other for that matter - [NOS without packaging - perfect cosmetics and internals (...I carefully disassembled them for a quick inspection) - the only thing that is slightly "funny" about this set is that the head of the respective retaining / adjusting screws is slightly different for each lever - both styles of screw heads (...flatted and domed) were used in conjunction with these levers, so both are technically "correct" - but this is the only example I recollect having run across where the style of screw head was not consistent across a single pair of levers] - $50.00 for the pair
Simplex retrofriction shift lever - singleton left side "orphan" control lever - second edition post 1977 having the "open hoop" style of handle - suitable for braze-on mounting or even clamp-on if you adapt it to something along the lines of an SLJ, Criterium, or Prestige downtube clamp - once again, the ultimate in downtube shifters from this era, or any other for that matter - [Used but in near perfect condition - the only thing that keeps this from being indistinguishable from NOS would be the retaining / adjusting screw which has had its slotted head mangled in typical fashion (...which is really not a terribly big deal since chrome plated replacements having the appropriate threading, length, and style of head can be found at almost any good hardware store - either brick and mortar or virtual) - use it, squirrel it away for the future, or gut it for parts like its internal spring] - $15.00 for the only lonely
MISCELLANEOUS
ESGE "shorty" fenders - black in color - "unbreakable" plastic with metal hangers - 270 mm long and 33 mm wide - manufactured in West Germany (...obviously sometime prior to 1990 when Germany was reunited) - [NOS in original packaging - perhaps not as effective as full fenders but these are MUCH easier to mount and dismount on the fly] - $15.00 for the pair
