The (almost) final parts for the Gazelle mixte. I realized I forgot shifter cable...

Not pictured are a rear wheel and rim + chain ring + bashguard.

Got these from Speedolite today...I must say that the packing was exceptional as can be seen in the photos.I am going to use these on either my Gios Compact or Waterford Paramount.
Thanks SOL for the fast shipping and great packing.

A book loaned to a friend several years ago. Highly enjoyable read and signed by the author when he came to Cycles De Oro for a talk.

I have been coveting this for a while and since May had some extra days which meant some extra pay I pulled the trigger on the item in my Amazon wish list bucket a 1953 Heritage replica team Italia wool jersey from DeMarchi.

It’s for my ‘70 model Professional, which I’m told came with the anniversary badge. Got this one on fleaBay.

Scored a limited edition red Carradice Bingley from Carradice's factory second eBay store!

Since I mostly needed a bag to hold a chain lock and I also ordered a Tourbon saddle bag, which is slightly bigger, I'll save it for another bike.

I twice got packages mis-sent to me this weekend. The two guys I bought from sent my stuff elsewhere and I got more expensive items.

No, I didn't keep them...weird that I have never had that happen and it happens twice.

I have those bars on an old Trek, they are wonderful. Where did you purchase all the Nitto stuff?

Both Nitto items came off Ebay for a small discount over retail. I like to go stock when I can but I need wider bars and a higher stem than most vintage bikes offer.

I had the same problem. Works awesome on my bike, very comfortable. I need things high and a little bit closer than most.
