An unexpected bonus was the bag of spares that came with the bike. In here were two Suntour 6 speed freewheels (NW 13-21t and PS 13-24t), a cool vintage Moser jersey, a wool moth-nibbled Campy cycling cap, 3 usable pairs of gloves, 4 potentially usable spare tubular tires, some bike tools I needed, a small jar of magical Campy grease, a worn pair of Assos genuine chamois shorts, a pair of size 46 LG shoes with Look cleats (kinda fit me with an insole added), an orange ‘Clement’ elastic band (what is that for?), tubes of dried tubular glue, and a few other bits that went into the trash.



I thought I had a better photo showing the contents, but you can see the neoprene booties and one of the extra gloves at the edge of the photo.

Unfortunately the original Campagnolo clip pedals weren’t in that bag, though the original Campy jockey wheels were there in the old Suntour jockey wheel box. The spare freewheels did come with their original boxes, and had date codes from late 1984. The spare freewheels had minimal wear, but both were pretty cruddy with dried grease and barely spun. The freewheel on the bike showed wear, but is still in excellent shape.

This is my first experience with tubulars. The ones on the bike appear to be well glued and in nearly new condition. The spares look pretty dried out, and I have no idea if any of these are still usable. I know I need to figure this out, if I'm going to take the bike on longer rides.
