Been mostly lurking in the C&V section for a while now, and I’m wondering if the parts taking up room in my shop and garage are of any value: 27x1 and a quarter alloy rims; 27 x1 and quarter steel rims; 6-speed Shimano rear hubs, 27x1 and three eighths rims; old Shimano high flange hubs, old plastic Shimano downtube shifters, and more stuff I forget now.

I’ve got three steel lugged 59cm frames, all rideable.

One is a gray Rossi, made in Italy, and equipped with full Cambrio Rino, a campy knockoff. This bike was a decent racing bike in its time, and a really nice ride, but other than last winter on rollers, haven’t been on it since I got fixed a couple of years ago.

The other is a Gitane Champion, blue tubes with yellow and black logo, Maillet group, Solida cranks. Sheldon says French steel frames make excellent fixies, and I have to admit that the idea of removing the group and replacing the cranks, BB, and brakes appeals to me; slightly.

But I already have a fixie, a dohno that I stripped bare and had powdercoated in clear, and will probably become my beater if I turn the Gitane into a fixie.

While I'd sell the parts, and might sell the bikes, I don't do eBay; I'd prefer someone who really cares about classic steel. Mostly I'm curious in your idea of value. Thanx.
