Several weeks ago Listers discussed about the following first two items. Anyone still need/ would like: (1) one pair NOS Campagnolo Athena Nylon straps still in a United Bicycle Parts bag. Buckles are marked INOX and are the classic white with the thin blue stripe dowm the center. Price $12 includes shipping CONUS, or whatever little more for overseas

(2) one set NOS-NIB Blackburn custom eyelets complete, to fit Campagnolo dropout (or similar) to mount a rack. Has the alloy back plate to fit the triangle space, the hard disc washer for the outside and the longer hexhead bolt to attach your rack Price $6 includes shipping, CONUS or slightly more overseas.

How about a more than 50 year old used excellent condition English 1/2x1/8-18T single freewheel? This came off a Schwinn SF Dural hub like came on old Superiors, etc. I have a Very Sharp good Remover and just got it off. Probably not off hub ever in those 50 yrs. It's one of those that has the grey body, looks like pot metal, but maybe scintered? steel? One side of the notch compressed just a little, the other side about a 1/16, but with a good tool the freewheel could be removed several times without a problem. This would be perfect for your double sided hub path bike. Needs a little internal wash thru and some external, but it's very nice. Outside plate says "THE VILLIERS" 'MODEL DE LUXE" Price $13 shipped CONUS, slightly more overseas.

Last item about 15/20 years ago a company whose name I don't recall made some ribbed soft but rigid plastic handlebar R&L pieces that fit over the curve on the bar tops and squared them off so the rider could find more resting support surface and take pressure off hands. I have a used but very good set that would be great for your comfort zone on the bar tops. Pop them on, tape the ends down, and enjoy your ride! Price for uncommon US made item $8 includes shipping, CONUS, overseas whatever extra cost is. Cash, check, or PMO. Thanks for looking.
