Folks,

Here are some ebay items that might interest some of you, as they relate to recent discussions here on CR:

#160284832684 NOS SIEBER Milano wooden rims, 36 Hole (1930s-1960s)

#360091257685 NOS Weinmann 999 brake calipers, complete

#360091257918 NOS Weinmann 750 brake calipers

#280254756926 Ghisallo wall clocks, made from tiny 1947-48 NOS wooden rims. (I figure these are CR items: Ric Hjertberg is importing Ghisallo wood rims. Ghisallo made him 12 clocks to sell at the Portland NAHMB show, and he has 6 left.)

I spent WAY too much time surfing ebay last night, but just nailed some clamp-on Super LJ derailleur levers, so I'm happy. (Now I just need a 51 x 55 cm frame to hang them on...)
