I have a number of ebay auctions that are ending within the next 24 hours, as well as others ending over the next few days. You can get a general overview of them here: http://ebay.com/<blah>

Otherwise you can see the individual auctions at the following links:

1950's Cinelli stem badge: http://ebay.com/<blah> QQitemZ110204654345 This is one of my dwindling stock of badges that I purchased from Andrea Cinelli a number of years ago. It is brand new and has never been fitted to a stem. I know of a few people who have mounted this in a frame and of one person who made one into jewelry. (Auction ending in less than 24 hours)

Late 50's-early 60's Brooks Campagnolo saddle with narrow rails, accompanied by Campagnolo seatpost with proper narrow fittings: http://ebay.com/<blah> _W0QQitemZ110204656950 Generally if you find one of these saddles you have to spend the time to find the proper seatpost cradles. I decided to therefore make it easier for whoever is interested in fitting one of these saddles to their bike, by putting both items in one single auction. (Auction ending in less than 24 hours)

NOS Stronglight 99 right-hand crank fitted with 52-47-36 chainrings http://ebay.com/<blah> W0QQitemZ110205156517 Thsi comes out of the recesses of a local shop. It was fitted on a bike and then switched out before the bike was ever ridden. The chainrings have never been used. English threading. (Auction ends in 2 days)

Passoni titanium seatpost http://ebay.com/<blah> _W0QQitemZ110205161109 Even if you are not intersted in purchasing this seatpost. I would recommend that you at least take a look at the seatpost as it truly is a work of art. Seatpost identical to this one were first made for Trecia bikes in the 70's, so I believe this can be considered a KOF item. The seatpost uses a Campagnolo Super Record fixing mechanism that is fitted to an all titanium post. When you know that the post part was made from a sheet of titanium and a bit of titanium billet, you can understand how much work went into this seatpost. Too bad that the 25.4 diameter doesn't lend itself to use in many bikes without a shim.

NOS Edco Competition BB http://ebay.com/<blah> 0QQitemZ110205167609 This BB will fit either an Italian or English BB shell, whether 68 or 70 mm wide. Read teh responses to the questions to better understand how this is possible. Either to be used as a high quality BB for a regular bike or save a frame that has had the BB threads ruined.

NOS Campagnolo Rally rear derailleur http://ebay.com/<blah> QitemZ110205175213 In early spring I had offered one of these to the list and received many requests that I couldn't fulfill. I tried to find some more but couldn't find any, then out of the blue one of my 'suppliers' in Italy sent me three of them a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I no longer have the names of those who had requested one in the spring.

NOS Campagnolo chaniring bolt wrench http://ebay.com/<blah> 78891 I figure that this wrench should be in every toolbox.

NOS 6 arm Colnago cranks, but not those made by Ambrosio! http://ebay.com/<blah> QitemZ110205838530 I had brought these to le cirque 2 years ago for a bit of ogling. According to Ernesto, they are one out of 5 sets that were special made for a time trial bike for Tony Rominger. They weight 500 g and were made using a CNC out of aluminum billet. It is quite possible that this will be the only chance to ever own a set of these.

late 1960's Campagnolo Nuovo Record rear derailleur http://ebay.com/<blah> W0QQitemZ110205846509 The one that is only marked 'Patent'.
