From Pete's famous garage sale here in Canberra, a box of old cottered steel cranks including Williams and TA, lots of 49bcd steel rings ($5), a 1957 Raleigh Lenton sports roadster in (as far as I can tell) completely original spec except for cabling ($70), needs 10 hours love but that's 10 hours I'll happily do instead of studying. Also a pair of 32h Fiamme red labels, somewhat used but nothing a bit of scotchbrite and polish won't make look new ($5), a pair of Dura-Ace 7402 (what's the diff between 7400 and 7402?) 165mm cranks, $10, one pair of Cinelli criterium bars, good condition, $10.
A partially restored 1952 malvern star Queen Elizabeth II coronation model bike, very ornate ladies bike with a coaster brake. Lovely. Needs some 28" rims to replace the 26 * 1 3/8" (yes I know, Raleigh Lenton size!) ones which are inexplicably on there. On ebay for $300au, which is a good deal given how much work has already been done.
This is a very cool thread btw. I might grab a liqueur and go through the whole thing.
