Petersen Publishing's "Complete Bicycle Book, 1972 Bicycle Buyer's Guide", I had a copy of this in HS. Most of the bikes in the guide portion are domestic BSO's but there is a lot of other interesting stuff. It's a nice window into 1972.

My latest score from member @Catnap. The GB stem is my favorite item here, I think.
My buying behavior lately could be described as a “spree” because of so many good items for sale recently, but I think I need to transition into a “pause” to preserve marital bliss.

Serotta ST pivot bearing nuts and bolts for spares. Tiny essential things that could be hard to find or improvise.

Brooks Cambium C15. I keep hearing good things about these, and the saddle on my indoor bike has been beating me up. So, figured I would give one a try. I don't think I would ever use one on the road because they weigh about a ton and a 1/2. And, now I understand why they are so expensive. The packaging is a work of art.
The Box even has air holes so it can breathe

This... thing, which kinda works; I bought it specifically for the old steel Raleigh whose rear axle is too narrow for modern-day U-type bike stands. It wasn't what I expected, but it does what it does, I guess...

I usually use it on the front if its the only one.
Scored a second one awhile back for $5, they work great for me.

They are a bit futzy but can work well once you get the hang of it.

Nothing too significant, but a Nitto bottle cage. I can't justify buying these at full retail, but a nice used one for half of that, I can do.
One of the nicest looking bottle holders, to my eyes.

Today was like Christmas here in MH land. Got my first shipment of Kool Stop brake pads, and a few other items to help get to know the complete line.
An assortment of brake blocks and pads. Some Thinline dual compound some international, and Campy and Modolo inserts.
The full product picture guide for those like me who a see the picture and then look at what it is in the caption.
