A few things for sale, surplus to requirements. All new and never used:
- Nitto 135 Grand Randonneur handlebars, 45 cm wide, 26.0 mm clamp diameter. Engraved Nitto crest on sleeve. Not as nice a shape as the Grand Bois Randonneur, not as light, but it costs only $ 38.
- Nitto 110 handlebars, 42 cm wide, 25.4 mm clamp diameter. Engraved Nitto and model in block letters on sleeve. A little more drop, a little less reach than the Grand Bois Maes, a little heavier. $ 38
- Grand Bois Parallel Maes handlebars. A little less drop (125 mm), a bit more reach (125 mm), and even flatter ramps, than the "French-style" Maes bend we usually sell. Superlight (<300 g) like all Grand Bois handlebars. 420 mm wide. $ 76 (2 available)
- Mavic Module 4 rims, 650B x 40 holes. These are a wider (25.5 mm) version of the classic MA-2. Box section, polished silver, clear anodized, double stainless eyelets. 520 grams. Perhaps the strongest 650B rim ever made, and still reasonably lightweight. Perfect for touring bike or tandem. Old Mavic 1970s/early 1980s logo, logo is starting to peel slightly. 40 holes. $ 190/pair
Shipping is $ 10 for handlebars, $ 20 for rims.
I also added a few New-Old-Stock items to the BQ web site. Available while stocks last:
- Mavic MA-2 rims, 700C, 36 hole. Box-section, silver polished rims with double eyelets.
- Belleri Randonneur handlebars. A classic French bar.
