This didn’t come in the mail it was posted on Marketplace as a come pick it up on the curb for free. I was the first one there. It has the cable lock and just needs to be cleaned up. I ordered a key for $8.00. Not a bad investment I think.

Got this great condition Suntour ratcheting shifters from Jon PLUS some neat bike nip!
Thinking the shifters are bound for the long suffering 85 Raleigh USA build with the cable stops still undecided.
Thanks Greatly, Jon!

Ordered crank arms on March 28 from Spécialités TA in France to replace the Nervar's bought on eBay with an incorrect 175 stamping but a 170 length. Really looking forward to getting back to 175 on a bike I am riding a lot lately. TA was exceptional and found that GLS shipping was held up by Fedex from Covid.

Got a pair of hubs and a damaged rear derailleur. The derailleur is repairable though I have a spare rear body plate from one that had been crunched on the front plate.
Looks like I am going to be drilling and replacing rivets for this repair, but it will be functional again. I sometimes suspect I work to hard to revive C&V parts,but I hate to just toss them out when they are damaged a bit. Good thing the rivets are still available to me. MH

"He started to market his frames under the second brand name Thomas for some years because he thought the name was catchier for people who did not speak Italian. When he realised that this was not necessary at all, Thomas bikes disappeared again and are now a bit of a rarity."

Fantastic and by the "rules" separate top tubes from stem to stern make it a mixte, unless tandems don't follow the"rules".

MRX shifters for my buddy Danny's DiamondBack Apex. I set him up with a taller stem and riser bars last year and now he says the original RapidFires are bugging his tendonitis.

I received today a head set from Cuda K and couldn't be happier. It will go on a Guerciotti that I acquired last winter from CA. Thanks Kurt! Smiles, MH

Today I finally received a spare spoke to replace the one that I broke on my 2008 or 2009 10 speed Fulcrum Racing 1 right real wheel (made by Campagnolo). My LBS could not locate a spoke through Campagnolo, who said they were no longer in stock, except for a complete spoke kit (24 spokes) for $187, so I did an on-line search and found that the spoke was the same as on a 2006 Campy Eurus wheel. After another hour or two of searching, I finally found one for $23 (but, with free shipping!).

Rebuilding the wheels for my 68 Schwinn Twinn, I hope.
I hope I got the right sizes, calculator shot out some values longer than i would have expected based on what it's essentially replacing...
