Group.. I have been informed that WE have purchased a condominium that is about the size of my current shop space ... since I have lost half of my n et worth in the last week and still have my wife, I believe some downsizi ng is in order, which you will all witness in the oncoming months... I d on't know how to post photos via a URL, so if any of the items spark an i nterest, please email me at nelsmiller@msn.com, and I will forward some jpegs to you. All prices DO NOT include post, which will be added at ac tual cost.
Starting with the top layer, I have an interesting CAMPAGNOLO PARTS SALES CABINET that sits on top of a counter. It measures 22" wide, 18" deep , and 19" tall. The sloping front is intended to hold a Campag catalog t hat can be viewed from the customer side of the counter. The rear doors op en, exposing a batch of plastic trays that hold all of the little bits t hat the customer would select out of the catalog. A few of the trays are m issing. It has CAMPAGNOLO script on the front and sides. A very interest ing and unusual piece for the collector of Campag bits! Postage will be a bout $40 CONUS with USPS -- probably less with Fedex? Price: $225
STEEL CINELLI TRACK STEM --VERY NICE CONDITION -- I would give it a 9/10 - - chrome is quite good, oval logo sharp and crisp, a couple of abrasion s and nicked areas at the very thin edges at the handlebar. The handlebar bolt is original, the stem bolt is not, it has been replaced with an a llen hex head bolt. Price: $100 (what I paid for it)
STEEL CINELLI BARS -- 37cm width. rechromed, and will look quite nice , but there are a few marks on the right side that would cause me to tape up most of the bar, leaving the logos uncovered, of course. The logos are visible, but are not as sharp as new, due to the rechroming. Pric e $100 (what I paid for them)
EARLY DURA ACE BRAKESET -- I was told that this brakeset is an early vers ion -- I really wouldn't know about that -- way out of my field. A littl e ssurface rust on some to the metal bits, should come right off. I belie ve that these would come under the catagory of of being "short reach" Well worn pads have the little wire guides on the bottom. The front caliper ha s a 1/4" scrape mark from the outside arm rubbing on the inner. The levers are drilled, with a touch of road rash, but not very bad -- just not pristine. Price: $120 per set.
CAMPAGNOLO LOW FLANGE "NO RECORD" HUBSET -- Used, 36 hole, 100 and 125 cm spacing. Axles turn smoothly. The front hub has a straight skewer, the rear is a replacement curved type. A nice pair of unusual early hubs! Price: $125 per pair.
CAMPAGNOLO BRAKE CALIPER SET -- These are the "short reach" variety, and are in excellent condition. They have one triangular wear spot on the rea r caliper where the outside arm rubbed on the inner.. not bad, but it is there in the right light if you are looking -- i.e. not "mint"", but ve ry good. Regular mounting bolts -- non-recessed mounting. Dome shaped quick release levers. A very nice pair of calipers.. The pads are somewh at worn, and have the little plastic covered chrome guides on the bottom. Sorry, I have not uncovered any levers to go with them -- yet. Price : $125/pair
RALEIGH CLUBMAN FRAME -- NO FORK This is a nice 55cm c/c seat tube, 58cm c/c top tube frame. It is made of "Reynolds 531 plain guage tubes, forks and stays" -- (of co urse the fork is not included) -- the decal is still intact. It has fairly ornate lugs, pump pegs on the downtube, stamped dropouts, chrome sta y tips and dropouts-- the chrome is not wonderful, with a patch of rust o n the outside of the seft dropout. The transfers RALEIGH on the down tube and a vertical CLUBMAN on the seat tube look quite nice. It has a little b razed on fitting on the underside of the top tube that was intended (I thin k) for a Sturmey Archer roller mount. The rear spacing is 117cm. It has th e Raleigh heron headbadge, and I suspect that it dates from the mid/late 1950's. The paint has lots of patina.. so much on the top tube that it is practically all worn off -- but, I do think that it would be a fun, wonderful candidate for an everyday rider with a lot of patina and origina l graphics.. I used some simichrome on parts of the paint that are dull a nd dirty.. they cleaned up pretty well.. Or, paint it over again if you wish -- i wouldn't. It needs a loving home. Price: $60
Thanks for your interest... please let me know if any additional informatio n is required.
PS -- I am leaving for a month in a week, so these transactions will have to scurry right along..
