After years of deliberation, I have finally decided to convert my 1960-ish Torpado "Tourer", back into the City or Sport type bike that I believe it was originally. Thus, there are some choice things that do not belong, and I have no current use for them. Selling these and some other good schtuff, and want to offer it here first. All shipping will be by the lest expensive method, unless buyer prefers better ... buyer pays for exact shipping costs, regardless of method.
>From the Torpado, and with photos as on the bike:
Universal Mod. 39 brake levers (introduced in 1939), used but excellent
condition, polished about 5 years ago and only ridden ONCE on about a 20 mile
ride. $100 plus shipping.

Simplex 1950s "Suicide", lever shifted front derailleur with earlier type
aluminum "acorn" handle grip. Later models had a plastic grip piece. Very
good used condition, with one or two small bits possibly not correct
(taken from a very similar but not quite same Simplex unit because of their
better condition). $75 plus shipping.

Spidel Professional (by Maillard), small flange, 36h hubs laced to Mavic
1970s red label, silver aluminum, tubular rims. Spaced at 120mm in rear.
Includes original q/r skewers, and a 5 speed Regina Merate ORO freewheel,
that appears to have had two of the cogs replaced with something different
(see the tiny bumps on the sides of those two cogs), but perfectly
functional. Freewheel threads unknown. Used but excellent condition, polished about
5 years ago and only ridden ONCE on about a 20 mile ride. $100 plus
shipping.

NOS 1970s Velox bar end plugs on original Velox display card, all in white, but with shop dust, and very minor oxidation showing on some of the metal fastening bits ... virtually invisible when installed, and may clean away anyway when you whiten the rubber. I think there are about 24 pairs. First to buy five pair or more will receive the somewhat tired card as a gift. $5/pair plus shipping. First come, first served when it comes to supply.
It's late now ... will respond to all emails in the morning. Thanks...
