When orphan hubs get paired up, I think a bike angel gets its wings, haha. I have a DA front hub from the same era laced to a crusty tubular from a Raleigh Technium that was left outside for too long. Planning on sniping the hub out and trying my hand at wheel building. I have a DA group to match minus the brake levers. Should be a fun build.

Guilty, it was sent to me as a dropout brace on a frame I bought. I know my limitations and hate to even true wheels let alone build them.
Seller have any more frames that need a home? ;) |
Especially since it looks like it has the DA QR too!

The crap has departed. Anticipated arrival in Colorado: Monday 8 May. Woohoo! :)

The box has landed!
This time around the box arrived remarkably good shape: https://s18.postimg.org/abfao4cmd/box_Open.jpg I had a lot of fun going through the pile as usual, there's some interesting bits in there and more literature than usual. Here's what I'm keeping: https://s18.postimg.org/7vdha9ujp/picks.jpg Box will be on its way to Massachusetts tomorrow morning. |

Are those Campy or Superbe gum hoods? Either way, quite the score for the BOC :)

On the way to [MENTION=396646]Spaghetti Legs[/MENTION] in the next day or two! |
The crap is flowing nicely now!

I told my wife as we went through the box, "Someone has a bike that's dreaming of this green tape. Either that or they'll build a bike around it." Anxious to see [MENTION=45088]nlerner[/MENTION] put it to use.
...And no, I didn't put it in there. I just moved it along as neither case applied to me. :) |
Anxiously waiting ...
I am astounded that Thomson post fit in the box. It's magic! |

I have one project in mind for that green tape--we shall see.
BOC is in the hands of USPS and off to [MENTION=396646]Spaghetti Legs[/MENTION]! |
The Crapmaster is busy keeping up with updates again!

The green tape was from me. Glad to see it generated so much interest. Judging by the pics, I'm happy to say almost all of the "big" items I threw in have been taken.
I gotta say, seeing your stuff get pulled out to be used is maybe more satisfying than taking stuff out. |

Box arrived yesterday while I was out of town. Got back just now and sifted through the crap.
Here's my haul. Waiting to hear back from [MENTION=236138]echo victor[/MENTION] on a mailing address. Nice job on fitting the bike frame in the box. It's my size! |
