Hi everyone,

Offered for sale to CR members are a good choice of items - the oval badged Brooks B17N is especially nice as is the Sturmey FC gear. The WEinmann rims are in lovely condition, only very lightly used.

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.

WEINMANN ALESA 32/40H RIMS in excellent lightly used condition with very little wear to the braking surfaces - this pattern of rim was made by Weinmann from the early 1950s through to the early 80s. 49 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Weinmann-Alesa-27-32-40.jpg

GB COUREUR PLUS BRAKE CALLIPERS late 50s/60s in very good condition complete with the red GB logo locknuts 35 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/GB-Coureur-Plus-callipers.jpg

GB SUPERHOOD BRAKE LEVERS in good/very good condition with just a few minor scratches to the lever blades 18 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/GB-Superhood-levers.jpg

STURMEY ARCHER FC 4-SPEED CLOSE RATIO HUB GEAR complete with 4-speed trigger. This is an example of one of the rarer and more desirable Sturmey Archer hub gears from the 1950s. The shell has 40 spoke holes. The FC is the close ratio 4-speed hub gear offering gears 9.1% above direct drive and 10% and 25% below direct drive. This is a really useful range. With 27in wheels, a 48T chain wheel and an 18T sprocket the gears are well spaced at 54in, 65in, 72in and 79in. These gears are a lot rarer than the FM (4-speed medium gear) and one of the nicest to use. It is in excellent only lightly used condition - I have checked it internally and the wear is only very light and it is in excellent condition. I will supply it either with the 3-spline driver as fitted or with a 12 spline driver if the buyer wishes. In both cases a sprocket will be supplied. 95 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Sturmey-FC-hub.jpg
