The same reason products say "Made in China"

Chinese products are mass produced for export to english speaking countries.
Did the USSR export that much cycling related items ?

I don't know. Rather than start a discussion of this here, I thought I might as well start a thread about the bike itself.

2 pairs of brake levers, both have issues...FREE for the price of USPS Priority small flat rate box postage, $6.35 to any ConUS address. send to me as a PayPal gift.
I pair per box. If some greedy b*stard wants both pair, I'll have to use a Medium box and can't recall what that rate is...but that's what it'll cost ya.

1. DuraAce BL-7402 aero lever set with black hood, much road rash on face of L lever and hood , somewhat less rash on face of R, mounting clamps included and despite the horror-show look they function fine.

2. Gran Compe Aero, silver blades, black bodies and hoods, slight rash on blades but R body has corner broken off under hood, will still mount and work but you might consider that one as a "parts donor"...or not...

PM me, first to respond gets it.

Pics are small and poor, but at these prices whaddya want?

WOW, that was quick:
DA levers are spoken for...Gran Compes still on the block..
Now the Gran Compes are also spoken for...all done for today.

(I may have some more tidbits in the next week, watch this space)

dibs on the Grand Compes!

I have a Maillard Helicomatic hub and freewheel that needs a new home. I know everyone poo poos them, but there must be someone out there who can use this stuff. Perhaps the best part of the collection is the spoke protector. It's got a few scratches which only became apparent once I removed the freewheel. The visible part of it doesn't appear to be cracked, scratched, or discolored. Apparently, Maillard used high quality plastic here, and skimped elsewhere . The bearings were pretty much shot (dry and rusty on the LHS), so I tossed them. The QR lever cleaned up pretty well, though as you can see the "Maillard" side still needs a bit more oxalic acid treatment. The "Spidel" side looks new. I don't know if the cones are good or not, but I'll leave that to the recipient to decide. The lockring is a bit bodged because I don't have the "bottle opener" wrench, but it threads onto the hub shell just fine.

Free to a good home. Recipient pays actual shipping.

For all you one-legged roadies: not exactly C&V but the price is right...a single LH Look Keo Classic pedal, gray composite body, used but still good, and a pair of red Keo cleats, also used and a bit scuffed but still have some miles left, nothing else, no mounting hardware.
Yours (if you are in the USA postal zone) for the postage cost of a flat-rate USPS box: $6.35
PM me, then PayPal me,
done and done.
I'm too lazy to take pix, but will snag something off the internets

Cool. Didn't even know we had this thread.

Hmm, thought this thread was closed!

Curious: I know it doesn't get much action, but why would it have been closed?

^Sorry, got this one confused with this old/closed one: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...8free-stuff%29

Red plastic Time SPRINT Pedals for postage. These are take-offs of a 92 bike.

Claimed!

A month or 2 back, Chris offered up this near NOS VO rack on condition that you have a project and that you post pictures. It's not working for me on my SR, it really crowds the front end with 28mm tires so I'm moving it along.

Got a project? First PM gets it, please pay the shipping and thank Chris for your good fortune. And don't forget to post pics. No mounting hardware to speak of.

Up for grabs: Suntour megarange 5 spd freewheel, 14.18.22.27.34. Pro-compe body sounds and feels good. Looks like it's been ridden almost exclusively on the 18 cog.

I do not want to box and ship these, but if anyone wants to pick up in Harrisburg, PA, they are yours.
Peugeot Orient Express, fork is a replacement, needs 21.1 stem. Overall good cond.
Univega Alpina Comp frame, Tange double butted, 1 1/8 headtube.

What Size are they... I may be out that way for the Keystone games weekend of August 3, or could arrange to have someone pick it\them up.

I tried to PM you but don't have a high enough post count.

Thanks,
Steve

Hockeyref- PM sent. Definite Maybe. Only hitch is I need these gone soon, I will post to the "free" section of my local CL in the next week. Thanks

Oh yeah, Univega is 16", Peugeot is 18". Sweet orange to red fade and ovalized tubes on the Univega.

Hey it's not much but if you need one it's important! Free pedal dust cap if you can use it, I don't remember what pedal it came off of, but I think it was an MKS. Its in good shape and is not rusty, just has old grease on it.

Ooh, ooh! Me, me! I have a set of SR SP100's which are missing one cap. In my foggy memory, the one I have looks just like that.

Happy to cover postage. Let me know how to get it to you.

Skip

one that didn't sell, so it's free for the shipping cost or totally free if local P/U:
a RH Shimano 600 crank arm, 175mm, good threads and includes a gray plastic dust cap and all 5 chainring bolts (for double rings)
too big for a small flat rate box, will fit in medium box.


EDIT: He called dibs...he got dibs.

No worries about postage, I'm sure an envelope and a couple stamps are all it will take to send something so small, I'm glad you can use it! And since you mention it you're right, it did come off SR pedals now that I think about it. Just PM me where to send it and I'll get it right to you!

I'm offering up a set of three steel tire levers for $2 postage. Just want to see them get used.

Have some stuff to clear out. I realize I'll probably never use it so want it to go to someone who will! Can snap a photo or two for whoever's interested. edited with what still remains:


-Record low flange front hub, curved skewer, doesn't spin well. Thought I saw damage to a flange but can't find it now...
-one straight lever Campy skewers, front, missing the D ring on the nut end
-Shimano Altus stem shifters, probably 80s

I'd be interested in the Campy skewers.
