Nice Matt, looks like you will have some nice projects.
Just picked up the last parts for my Sachs build.

I wish I was getting bike parts, all I get lately is shoes that don't fit and stuff for work

^LOL, well that's at least one piece of Dutch literature that manages to find some readership abroad!
The postman got me a Tange headset, it's an alloy one with sealed bearings, and bears some passing resemblance to the old Levin. The finishing is far worse though, they sure don't make 'm like they used too.

In my never-ending quest to understand the 20th Century non-racing English cycling scene, I have managed to snag some more CTC Gazettes, three of which are from WWII. For the record, these arrived yesterday but since @puchfinnland isn't around to enforce the rules, I'm posting this anyway.

Very cool Photogravity! I have a vintage CTC pin on the saddle bag of my Clubman as a kinda tribute to things past.
I snagged these GB Rando bars to finally complete the parts list for my Maclean Featherweight build, it's gonna be a SA FW hub / 2 speed cycle block day tripper....one day.

I've now amassed a small collection of CTC pins and similar stuff, including a couple Norman Cycles pins and a National Cyclists Union pin. Additionally, I now have a collection of CTC Gazettes from the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's, with almost every issue starting in 1948 all the way through 1962. Some time around 1963, they changed the name from CTC Gazette to Cycle Touring and I have a few of those in my collection of CTC memorabilia/ephemera. Oh, I almost forgot: I have about 40 issues of Cycling starting in 1960 through early 1965. If you're ever looking for information or want to do some research on English cycling, I have plenty of stuff you can dig through. Just LMK.Those GB random bars are nice to snag. Seems I may have a couple laying around for various projects. Like you... one day...

Nothing today, but a parcel notice.
No parcel expected, but a couple-three months ago I ordered a SSM Concor Lite, custom covered in Cinelli branding, from the Ukraine.
Problem is, their mail goes through Russia, so it dropped into oblivion while the conflict goes on. I was refunded, but if this the saddle, I'll be happy.

A new sleeper sofa for our guest room! It came while my wife was home and I was at work. Why she decided to have them put it in my cramped bike cave rather than inside the house I don't know. She says it's too heavy for her to help, so now I've got to enlist the help of a friend or neighbor in order to get back use of my garage/bike cave.

Probably somewhere deep in my stash I have one of those posts. Not sure what became of it. One of the oddest designs, but cool at the same time. I love em.,,,,BD

Yes, you did leave a key word. What a tease! I bet the jersey is cool, nonetheless.

@Zinger, a lot of nice stuff you've been gathering. Looking forward to seeing the Trek 970 when it's ready.
