Like most people I do have a box of crap. About every third year I check the box for parts and every time I find parts I have been searching the net for - or have re-evaluated since the last time. This time I found a pair of early Campagnolo Record "key hole" brake levers, a load of Simplex crankset parts, some Mafac cable stops, an old alu bottle for my REG holder, etc.
I believe it is the second time I have discovered that I actually did not sell all my old French bike magazines. I clearly have hundreds of them. I am as happy as the last time I discovered that!
Found an old and torn B17 narrow and a bent 3TTT bar - and made a Picasso-hommage for the workshop.
I wonder what I will find in three years time?!
