I'd like to introduce my self to this list. My name is Andy Stewart, a tad
over 50 yrs old and a life long bike industry guy. I've been a subscriber
for a number of years but haven't had much to say here before. While my day
job
is a wrench at the local tandem shop my hobby is frame building. I've said a
lot (perhaps too much, to some members) on the framebuilders list. Here's
my flicker site with some of my work.

The reason for me to speak up now is because I will begin to eBay off lots of my old parts. Derailleurs, brakes, pedals and other stuff will be sold over the next year or so. Some old (1950's/1960's) stuff mixed in with the 70's and 80's. In the next few days I'll put up for auction a Simplex "Tourist mod 303" rear der. and a Stewart Warner tire drive speedometer amongst other items.
So if you're interested look for my posts here and on eBay, my user name is "stewart076". I'm only just figuring out how to do this so if I break any list or etiquette rules please let me know.
While I work in the retail bike world I ride some pretty classic stuff. All self made. Today's 45+ mile ride was on my oldest bike. A 531 pro, lugged frame with sew ups. It's hubs and crank date to the mid/late 70's, Campy NR of course.
