We need more antioxidants to combat free radicals like that

I have a 5 speed and a 7 speed SunTour freewheels, which are the "Alpha" models. I have fully disassembled, cleaned & degreased, reassembled with new balls, etc.
If you're interested, and actually want to use one, please send me a pm.
I am happy to provide date codes and tooth counts upon request, as well as photos.
Happy Cycling.

I have a 1968'ish Gitane Hosteller 24" C-T seat tube. It is nearly original - the FD is not and the fender stays are not. I have the original cable housings, although a couple may need to be replaced. The bar tape is original AFAIK. The crank arms were a bit out-of-phase, so it will need new cotters. It is painted flamboyant red. On the drive side, the paint is fine - on the left side the paint is crap (it was in a display window for years). The decals are good. The bottom bracket and headset have been regreased. I have not touched the wheel bearings.
It is free to a forum member who will pick it up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I could arrange to meet you near Salisbury. If you want it shipped, i could refer you to the only LBS in town, and you can take it from there.

Wow. Best PIF ever! About my size even. I'm going to a conference next week that is usually in Springfield VA, and I would be willing to drive to pick it up and check it on the flight home, but this year the conference is in STL. Thanks for offering it up!

Too bad. Some one may want this. Your conference should have been at the Hyatt in Cambridge - you would have been about 30 miles away.

I was taken care of, so I'd like to keep it going. Have a set of drilled Mafac levers, non aero, with black Mafac hoods in solid shape not dry rotting, and barrel adjusters. Came off a Peugeot with frame issues. Anyone interested PM me

70s Benotto ribbon wrap in royal blue, pulled off my bike, used but solid with only one small tear about an inch long and a quarter of the width deep. Lost one of the original end caps

I have a couple of extra copies for anyone in need. Park Tool FR-5 & BBT-2, used but in good shape. One per person please.

I have a pair of Schwinn handlebar grip in green sparkle. The condition is very good. Anyone interested?

If memory serves there was once someone who made a tool that allowed you to lock your BBT-2 onto the bottom bracket while you tried to remove it. Do you happen to know what I'm talking about? I only ask because I just about outmuscled and stripped mine (in addition to banging the hell out of my knuckles) as it kept slipping out a couple weeks back.

As with just about any BB tool, a ratchet/bar clamp and a small piece of wood can be used to hold the tool in place while cracking it loose, once loose remove and use regular ratchet or other wrench to get the cup out.

BBT-2 has been claimed. FR-5 is still up for grabs.

I would gladly take the FR-5! I've been slowly trying to collect a good selection of cassette and freewheel tools as I can afford to, but I don't have an FR-5 yet.

And the FR-5 goes to @AustinFitz
I'm hoping to get my workspace tidied up in the next few weeks so I'll have more stuff to share here.
