Latest from the landfill
First up is this Columbia mixte, very much 'before' pictures, as all I've done is ascertain that the stem and seatpost weren't frozen:
The steel rims are beyond repair, but they are laced to nice Sunshine high-flange hubs.
A rather non-descript lady's bike had this rather interesting cable-operated disc brake on the rear wheel.
When I strip the few usable parts from the frame it's going back to the metals hopper, but if anyone wants this brake assembly it's theirs for postage.

The disc threads on like a track cog and it uses the same reverse-threaded lockring as a track hub. I'm thinking budget fixie here...

The hub/brake I used on the rear of this bike came from a Sears Free-Spirit 10 speed.
The FRONT disc was added in '78 and in order to have the caliper on the "show side" of the bike, it did require a lockring.

Sounds good - PM me with the cost/info/etc, for I have a tendency to loose track of discussion threads.
