There is a Lambert Underground that will not allow these machines to go to ground...not that I have one myself! But I sympathise with the cause.
I don't have that sought-after rear derailleur, but you remind me I have a Lambert crank axle and the matching bolts (badged "L" in red and silv er on a blue field, as it were), and would like to sell the ensemble. Th e assemblage came with a Lambert triple chainset still in my possession, but I think at 120mm will work well with a double or triple, depending to some extent on the OLD width of your rear hub....
The axle is of a colour I would call charcoal-black. Anodised, I suppose
. It shows very little wear, with such wear as there is showing bright s
ilver. The bearing surfaces are great. The signature Lambert bolts are c
hromed and are in, well, excellent condition. One logo'd bolt-center has
the minutest scratch, about two pinhead's-worth. The flats are perfect,
the chrome is bright. The whole ensemble is the next-best-thing to new-
old-stock.
Remember, this is the tapered model! Utterly standard type to mount the
gamut of standard tapered crank designs. There was another, proprietary
Lambert design--but this is not it.
For this specialized non-specialized item, then, and including the shipp
ing cost, I would like $30 in the US, $33 to Canada, $40 to the UK. Paym
ent by PayPal, money order, personal check drawn from a US Bank--or cash
, if you must, but do send it by some kind of registered post! I've done
the same as a customer, always with success, but have not utilized this
method in several years. The mediated mode of PayPal is smoothe enough
and universal enough that it seems the best course for international tra
nsactions. And where would I be without my UK, Canadian, French, German,
Swiss and Italian connections? My pieces of bike have come from far and
wide. With sourced-on-list transactions, I find (as both customer and s
eller) that a PayPal payment serves as a definitive boundary between an
"interested" status, and another status we could call "I-must-have-it."
So it is useful in that secondary manner, as well as being a cash-surrog
ate, transfer vessel.
Well, remember: Lambert power!
