For anybody interested, for their information I have uploaded some pictures of old bits. The wheels pedals, and gear are due to be refitted to my BSA bike, to restore its steely 1958-1960 look, and maybe its ride.
Brampton: gleaming unused headset, but marks on locknut. 'Alatet' on the toothed spacers.
Chater Lea: lamp bracket, bent. Unknown: unused headclip/ top cup, nickel plated?
1958 Wheels (not shown): Dunlop Road Racing tyres on steel Dunlop 27x1 1/4" hp rims; steel Resilion hubs. This combination was also fitted to the contemporary Phillips Jaguar and Fleur de Lys bikes.
Dunlop RR Tyre: in nearly-new condition, bought soon before production of the fine1930s design of wired-on (clincher) cover ceased in the 1960s.
GB88: unused example of this centrepull brake. The pivot bolts are lightly plated, and will soon rust if not oiled.
Chainwheel, cranks: Wiliams C34 ring, 48T, on Nicklin crank; Cross (TDC, presumably) crank - which matches the Nicklin one; Williams C1000 crank - like the C34 but slimmer. All 6 1/2".
Credalux Pedals: steel barrel version, clip-on pickup fitted to the other 'second' pedal. Phillips. Replaced the BSA pair that I thought uncool at the time, sadly.
Resilion Hub: rear one is similar, except the cones are of course housed in the fixed/ fw threaded parts of the body.
Starlite: navigation lamp, taking one R20 cell. Red-domed rear version also produced, and there were other finishes I think.
Super 60: Cyclo Benelux, 1960, 70 shillings price (Campagnolo GS was 80s or so). their first parallel-action gear, probably. Heavy but strong successor to the feeble spring-action Mk7 originally attached to the Tour of Britain Sports. 5 speed, later to be had for 6 speeds. The big hex keyhole has lost its chromed push-in dustcap.
