Hi everyone,
Offered for sale to CR members is a very pretty Vicini frame complete with some nicely panto'd parts. There's quite a number of nice and not so common parts: a Cinelli steel stem, Harden hubs, Constrictor and Alumlite 27in rims, MA2 32H rims, Sturmey and GB wingnuts, Simplex TDF gear, Cobalto brakes, Top-63 brakes, an early 3TTT Record stem, GB catalogue, Campy crown race remover and 1970s Dura-Ace front gear. There's also a copy of the rare and now out of print book The Sturmey Archer Story.
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal, cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer.
With the pound being low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. All have pictures you can check out on Photobucket.

STURMEY ARCHER STORY THE book on hub gears New Unused copy
Offered for sale is a new and unused copy of The Sturmey Archer Story by
Tony Hadland. This is the definitive work on Sturmey Archer and many
other hub gears too. Anyone remotely interested in intrigue will be
fascinated by how the 3-speed hub gear was not Henry Sturmey nor
Archer\u2019s invention though it carries their name. It also describes in
detail all Sturmey gears in a very practical manner explaining how each
one works etc and has lots of extremely useful illustrations. 192 pages.

GB FRONT WINGNUTS These will clean and polish very nicely. 19 GBP
CINELLI STEEL STEM 12cm
This stem is in very good/excellent condition; the chrome plating has
only a few marks - there is a rub mark on the clamp area, two light
marks from a vice near the bolt and a little chrome has lifted under the
arch. But overall the stem looks really very beautiful with a clear
Cinelli stamp and it has not been replated. 69GBP

STURMEY ARCHER HUB WINGNUTS in very good condition and from the
1940s/50s. 29 GBP

ALUMLITE 27 x 1 1/4in RIMS 1940s/early 50s Part NOS 32/40H Alumlite
aluminium rims are really rather rare and have a very distinctive
stepped profile - the front rim has been slightly used whilst the rear
is still in its original packaging... Much, much rarer than Constrictors
115 GBP

CONSTRICTOR CONLOY 27 x 1 1/4in 32/40H RIMS the front one is in
excellent lightly worn condition, the rear shows some signs of wear but
has plenty of life left in it. These are not corroded and will clean up
and polish well - they have some marks but nothing serious.
Constrictor rims in this sort of condition rarely turn up and have in
recent times been fetching £200 on Ebay. 90 GBP

HARDEN LARGE FLANGE GEAR/FIXED HUBS 32/40H 118/120mm OLD with threads
for a multiple speed freewheel on one side (up to 5spd) and a single
fixed sprocket on the other. These use imperial sized cartridge bearings
which can still be obtained and these bearings feel excellent. The hub
shells are also very clean except on their fixed side of the rear where
a chain has caused a little damage to the flanges. 95 GBP
