[h=2]Campagnolo Classic Complete Tool Case Vintage - $5300 (Idaho, USA)[/h]

Campagnolo Professional Grade Complete Tool Case
Many Extra Taps, Dies, Steerer Press Nut, BB Guides + Pro Pedal Wrench
English and Italian BB Taps (French Taps are not included)
English, Italian and French BB Facing Guides

English, and Italian Headset facing, reamer and die set

This case will prepare the finest frames with precision and out live us all
I recall this case saw maybe 10 - 12 frames to date.

Every thing is included to handle an Italian, English or French threaded frame with the exception of the French BB taps and French steerer threaded lock ring.

If you've ever had a chance to use these tools it's a luxury. The fit, precision, leverage and end result is exceptional.

Highlights of this collection:
The bottom bracket taps sets included:
#721 /5 1.37 x 24 (English)
#721 /5 36.0 x 24 (Italian)
The bottom bracket facing guide sets included:
#724 /1 + 724/2 1.37 x 24 (English)
36.0 x 24 (Italian)
35 x 1.00 (French)
The fork crown race cutter (#718 ) uses the #718 /6 threaded lock ring which I have in two sizes:
English 1" x 24
Italian 25 x 100
The fork column die tool (#714) has two dies (#714/1) included:
Italian 25.4 x 24
English 1" x 24


The freewheel notch style puller "I" is the best you can find for old Rigina freewheels. The fit is perfect for those brittle double notch freewheel bodies
The professional pedal wrench (#1101) which has hardly ever been used is another fine example of Italian tools. This is in place of the #713 tool that I sold long ago.
The option of having all the correct taps and threading is ideal when it comes to any vintage frame preparation.

After going through the inventory many times, I'm confident everything is here. I've pictured and described all with one exception of the #712 /3 spacing spring. This is a treat to have when it comes to adjusting a Campy headset. I know I have it but I've put it in a special place and have yet to come across it. I will send it to the new owner asap with no additional charge.

Italian Campagnolo Quality: The Best You Can Buy

I've owned this kit since the early 70's and Ochsner and Ochsner has been around even longer. They still list some vintage tools but availability is sketchy.
