I know what the 2 front racks are. They ARE new and still packaged by the way. : D
I'm curious as the what the other rack hardware is for.

What's crazy is that I just got a used Burley trailer to pull the kiddo in. I've been hesitant to use it because of the way it attaches to the rear triangle on my vintage rides (fear of rubbing/scratches). This kit allows you to change the trailer to attach to your rear axle intead! Talk about awesome!

The tire levers are among the best made for narrow high pressure tires (they're made by VAR), and I'll give you $25 for the SPD combo pedals at the upper left.

Really great score... looks like someone was building up a touring bike and changed their mind.
The OMM racks are beautifully made and run around $100.00 - $150.00 per so it looks like you have $400.00 - $600.00 worth of premium racks there.
Premium stainless cable... NIB bar end shifters... nice 50/50 pedals... touring crankset...
You need to build a touring bike now.

What are these, specifically? Look at the red arrows.
And this hardware. Specifically the rods/braces. Thanks.

Not certain about photo #3, but I'd guess it goes with the Burley.
The rack parts are the low-rider attachments, for when you want to carry stunningly heavy packs at a lower center of gravity. As has been pointed out, there's serious money in those racks.
So, what did you pay for this treasure trove?

The racks are recumbent-specific, possibly for an Easy Racers EZ-1 or a Burley Django. I'd ask Bicycle Man : https://www.bicycleman.com/recumbents...ccessories.htm for better information.
The rods & braces are Easy Racer-style fairing mounts for a Zzipper fairing. I have a couple spare sets- I home-brewed my own out of carbon fiber.
The Easy Racers branded Vuelta crankset is a dead giveaway.

I know the extreme front rack is from JANDD and i have one on my touring rig. Pretty nice, but the paint scratches off way too easily and I probably wouldn't buy it again. I'd say what the arrow points to a front rack of some sort? don't know.
Again, i'd go with a low-rider front rack, but not quite sure how it attaches. maybe some of the extra hardware helps you connect it to an end-of-fork braze-on or the QR skewer?
sorry, not much help...
