I have no dog in this race, just a heads up to my neighbors...and you all promise to wait until I've picked it over before you show up, riiight???:D

Thanks for the heads-up!

No Promises! :D

And I am going to be out of town. Damn.

me too. I'd be checking out that Mark Noblette otherwise.

Went to the sale this morning and scored a bargain on two brand new padded Mavic wheel bags at 10 bucks a piece!
Also found an NOS set of Kool Stop brake pads with the circular finned aluminum pad holders for 5 bucks! Also got two brand new Brooks saddle tension wrenches at a dollar a piece.....
Almost bought a nice low mileage/almost new wheelset with 28H Araya Aero rims and Campy C Record low flange hubs.....but held off because I just have too many wheelsets already..... I guess another C&Very might need it more than me..........

I found it very underwhelming, especially the "mountain" of Campagnolo components and that "mother load" (lode?)...had to be the smallest mountain any ant ever stubbed its toe on.
Nevertheless, I did spend some money, and I can't complain that the prices were too bad.
Now that I get it home and cleaned, some of this "treasure trove" (it fit in one small bag) might wind up FS: my mind gets clouded in retail frenzy and I grab things I think I can use...;)

BTW: He still had a number from that real mountain of Modolo brake levers he started out with years ago, now just a couple dozen, max. They are NOS and most gold-anodized but some black (branded as "Scott") and those have NOS hoods.
