A friend and racer back in the 70's handed off some stuff to me that has been in his basement and neglected for many years - but it includes a few cool bits, along with a large cleaning effort in front of me. Very few of the components appear to be original to the frames.

First - a Crescent, probably from about '74.
He got hit by a car while riding this bike - probably the TT dent as a result. I haven't done any alignment checks.
He said he got the Crescent because John Howard rode one - and he met John (& was passed by him) in his first real road race.


Black ano Crane derailleur and shifters.







Second, 6 unmatched wheels , but includes an old Phil hub rear wheel and a light front wheel that I haven't researched the front hub.




The wheels & rims included one Mavic tubular with the patterned brake track, and new single silver 36h Araya Aero2.


And last, a Gitane TdF, but without the integral derailleur hanger, #2 on BF this week. (Has a 26.4 post)
Interesting Campy triple, too. A 52, 49, 42






The 60cm TT plus this looong Cinelli stem means I'll never be able to ride it in this configuration. The Crescent has ~ 58cm TT, so within reason for me.


Typical training bikes from back then - well worn, many components changed out and very little matches at this point. Even with 6 or so wheels, I don't have a matched set.
