Well folks I am done with the fussing around on a Mavic wheel. So I have all of the parts from the wheel with out the rim which was damaged beyond repair. Free for cost of shipping (probably less than $10) Smiles, MH
All of the bladed spokes, and the rim attaching nipples, and the brass nipples that are locked in place buy the aluminum nipples. And the hub. No cassette cause it didn't have one when I got it.

After reworking a set of brake levers yesterday I had a few items left over that I don't need to keep. Free just pay shipping, probably $5. Smiles, MH
Two lever blades, and two clamps with nuts.

Paging gugie , bulgie , scarlson , unterhausen ...
I've got a 1972 Paramount frame that is in need of some love and since I'm solidly into reducing the fleet right now, I wanted to see if any of you are interested in it. I can take some measurements...I think it is roughly 56cm squared...maybe a 56.5 or 57cm seat tube. The chrome is beautiful.
I bought this frameset a couple of years ago here on the forums, but within a few minutes of receiving it, saw that it had a crack in the rear DS dropout between the dropout and the chain stay. To be honest, I don't know if it is so much a crack as it is a 'separation' between the dropout and the stay, like it didn't get completely filled w/ braze, as the separation is at the joint. It was probably ridden like that for many years, as the front of the joint is brazed well and holds together.
It also has some goofiness on the seat tube, where something mashed it in a bit at the center, but that is probably an easy fix. This one is still plenty salvageable!
I just have so many projects and looking to free up some space. Please let me know if any of y'all are interested. I'd love for this to go to someone w/ some torch skills and give it some love. If this fits you, let's talk. Cost of shipping and it can be at your front door

Well folks,
I promised to start cleaning up around here, and these were hanging around on my desk for at least three months. I have paired the holders with a couple of brake blocks from the Kool Stop inventory. There is some assembly required that need an Allen wrench to complete. Cost of shipping. (The two cards of blocks are $50 retail, so this is a deal). PM me Smiles, MH
Two pairs of brake block holders and the KS pads for them.

Next up is a box of French parts. Plenty of Mafac brake calipers with original straddle cables, and misc. parts off my work bench. If not claimed, off to the scrap yard. Smiles, MH
some good, some bad, and some jus plain ugly. But all useable in some way.

French stuff has been spoken for.
Ben,
I guess you want me to send you the fourteen seat posts that I found in this huge pile of stash?? Perhaps you have some psychic powers, cause I am putting together a bunch of Campy parts that are looking for a new home. Smiles, MH

Dent on top tube
Did I mention it is Free?
Local pick-up only - Los Angeles
I have most of the parts that came off this frame - Shift levers are shot & missing crank caps/bolts - We can talk $ or trade if you need parts for the build

CLAIMED
Padded shorts and a jersey.
Preferably these all go in one box and get shipped out but I'm happy to get rid of things individually.
Shorts are some medium Chinese brand, small aerotech designs, and small performance. I'm 160lbs with about a 31" waist and not washboard abs. The aerotech and Performance I remember being a bit snug.
Jersey is a medium but it's race fit. Small rip at the pocket.

Trying to find the top of the workbench, and found three Shimano hubs that I won't use, but are either buildable or for parts. Cost of shipping probably under $10. PM me. Smiles, MH
Freehub models for parts or build up. 36 hole QR axles.
