Below is a list of items which I've put up on Ebay. The most interesting item I've listed this week is the c1938 Tendil French road bike - this exceptionally original bike deserves a careful sympathetic restoration as I think apart from the tyres and handlebar tape is completely original and is fitted with some of the most exotic kit from 1938 - Duprat hollow cranks, Super Champion 4-speed rear derailleur, Bowden aluminium brakes, Caminargent stem and bars and FB hubs... A frame from a much later period that is rather special is a Tony Oliver (yes the same Tony Oliver that wrote the classic book on frame design) touring frame from the late 1980s. His frames are really rather uncommon, owners tend to hang onto them rather than selling them and he only built 40 or so... The Roy Thame Campionissimo is also equally special frame from the late 70s and deserves a close look at just how nicely detailed it is. There are some other splendid parts and accessories too - a NOS Suntour Cyclone rear gear, Stronglight 49D cranks, Hetchins, Claud Butler and Gillott original transfers and a lovely and really rather special Mafac 2000 gold anodized brakeset. Don't miss the early Mavic E rims or the NOS Claud Butler head badge or NOS Cinelli Criterium bars with double grooves for Ergopower levers and Benotto tape including a set in Italian colours and Il Primo aluminium stem either. And the NOS yellow Turbo or black and white striped saddles and Huret Success/Duopar front derailleur and pretty Campagnolo Triomphe chainset. And for Merckx fans a NOS 3TT pair of Merckx shape bars.
The auctions finish on Sunday as usual and all are best found using my ebay identity hilarystone or go to:
