New website from Hilary Stone--lots of C&V for sale and oogle
Hilary Stone of the UK outed his new website on the CR list:
https://hilarystone.com/index.html
He always finds the most remarkable UK steel and no longer sells on eBay, I believe. Wallets beware!

Great resource, Neal. Thanks. My wallet is quietly trying to sneak away from my grasp.

I just took a look at some of his bikes, and I have to disagree...there are some GREAT deals on there.
One is a grail bike...a De Rosa signature, and of course in my size, at a reasonable number. I can taste it, but the timing is wrong.

I have no interest in Italian road bikes, but I like the Ganna city bike.
I bought my chrome Record triple and my Sturmey Archer 5 speed from him.

I had a bad experience with hilary stone.
I ordered a stronglight headset that was listed as NOS/NIB. Well, a couple pieces were missing. I emailed hilary stone and asked if he just happened to have the parts hidden somewhere or spares I could have...and, if not, if I could exchange it for something else. Hilary straight up ignored my emails and never responded. He was extremely quick to respond to my questions before I sent payment, though.

Thanks to Neal for outing my new website here and he;s correct I don't do Ebay anymore. My apologies to TimeTravel_0 for not sending the missing spacer- it completely slipped my mine - if he could send me his address I'll forward him a suitable spacer. I've just been to the Manchester cyclejumble here in the UK – its one of the biggest – and have come back with a lot of goodies that will be uploaded over the following weeks. Included is a late 70s NOS Raleigh Carlton Professional (this will be a week or two in being added), a Raleigh Ilkeston lo-pro that was built for Beryl Burton, a NOS Constrictor brake from the 1920s, Shimano Dura-Ace AX chainset and pedals, Campag framebuilding tools and more...

Have just uploaded the Raleigh Ilkeston lopro that belonged to Beryl Burton and couple of excellent frames – a gorgeous eayly 70s Ron Cooper and a stunning 90s Columbus EL Chas Roberts... There will be more parts later this week...
