i've made a couple//

a pin spanner for an old Magistroni bottom bracket.. if anyone thinks they need it you can have it.!. i've since replaced it with a VAR adjustable pin spanner. this is from scrap steel and nailz (endless supply of replacement pins)

tool for the weird cones on Bendix 2-speed kickback hubs (from a conveniently shaped stainless steel thru-bulkhead wiring fitting bit thing)

a littel adapter plate so my 1/8" Park chain tool works better with 3/32" chains (piece of old steel rule)

dustcap wrench for those damn fancy TA pedals (was there ever a proper tool for this !?)

plus, i'm always bending or grinding something out of an old spoke.. they are good tool stock ! old files too...
