I’m in the middle of reading it and I’m a David Byrne fan so it’s been an enjoyable read. There are many interesting observations and points of view. Also, the idea that a fairly well-known musician spends time riding around on an old folding bike gives me more appreciation for him.

Found these today while looking for something else. I THINK, but make no promises, that these are Campy toe clip bolts( 8mm head, thread into the twisted hunk of metal that was once a Campy pedal)
They are of no use to me. Even if I had a pair of functional Campy pedals, they are too short for me. I have to space the clips out a bit because of a long ago foot injury.
They are yours for postage.

Is it possible to post a "curb alert" in this space? I need to rid the garage of a few 3-speeds and projects. Asking the moderator.

Curb Alert: Raleigh Bikes
I have a Raleigh at the virtual curb in Salisbury, MD. They will remain on the virtual curb for 10 days and then they will move to the actual curb for the scrappers. It is a 5-speed IGH Sprite, a Sports Camelback (has fenders and chainguard not shown), and a 23" Sports (saddle not included).
The 23" Sports is not for sale any longer - sellers remorse.

dweenk If the Sprite doesn't get any takers, I would be happy to take the wheels, shifter and rear rack off your hands. I have a 3sp Raleigh Sports which they would work well on.

Free for cost of shipping this box of vintage bike computers. Some were working and likely just need batteries. Others came to me with dead batteries but maybe just need batteries or a little tinkering.

I have two unintentional collections, old bike computers (none of which I actually use, perfecting my Wahoo) and toe clips (most of which are too small for my feet).

Now I feel bad about throwing away 3 or so bike computers in the last month because I either didn't have all the parts for them or wasn't sure which sensor went with which head unit and I haven't used them in a decade. Had totally forgotten about this thread.

Anybody need a 28 x 1 1/2 (635mm) tube? I sold my Raleigh Tourist and forgot to send the spare tube with it. It's just a Sunlite. Let me know!

I received said box from Mad Honk today (many thanks).
I was able to determine that the shoes are men's size 8 - which is 1-1/2 or 2 sizes smaller than I can use. I will be able to use the other set of Look cleats and brake pads.
Consequently, I am paying this forward to whomever expresses interest. I can send separately, but if someone can use it all, that certainly simplifies things.
fwiw the set of unusually-shaped cleats comes with the four mounting bolts

I think I have a use for the slottted cleats if no one has claimed them yet. Looked like it was a pair in the original post. Circled in green.
