That's him - and his famous Green Towel :)

LeicaLad: you had me at Barelli :love:

Well in the interest of adding some stuff that isn't quite so shiny, here's some cool parts off my most recent acquisition. (Except the ideale clamp, been waiting for a worthy bike for it)

Airlite flip-flop hub in some pretty simplex dropouts

A stronglight bottom bracket for a 5-pin cottered crank (that only has half its chrome left)

Some clamp-on simplex shifters. The rubber is surprisingly supple... still need some clean-up though.

An ideale saddle clamp...

with some nifty micro-adjustment on the backside.

Sorry for the crappy pics.

I think these are the coolest things I have .. a Nitto Crystem on my '82 Fuji Newest and a Campagnolo Super Record RD on my A-D Ultima

Based on the number of times I heard 'cool cranks' on a ride last weekend, this is the coolest component I own.

I love brakesets and have quite a few in my stash, but I've been a longtime fan of Mavic's 851 SSC derailleurs, so I've had may good share of them:

I now have them on pretty much all my 80's bikes, including an 801 set (silver non-SSC version, but otherwise identical) on my PSV....
Glad to find all of them when they were still affordable. Now they are too expensive for my project budgets, thanks to "mega price" sellers that drove their and many other C&V French component prices up to about double in just the last two/three years.......blehhhh....:mad: So not too many new cool component buys since...
Oh, here an cool crankset that I need to eventually find a project to land on....

Copper I guess, judging by the amount of green crud on them when I got the saddle. It's a beautiful saddle, just waiting for the Right Bike to put it on.

This Super LJ 6000 with Bullseye pulleys is pretty cool, but I'm not because I've got the inner cage half upside down. :rolleyes:

And I thought I was the only one who did dumb stuff like that. ;) Well, it works that way, eh?

Nice derailleur.

I think this is the same third generation Rally I have in my signature photo. I had it as an unused NOS a few years ago I think was the most jewel-like bike part that ever came from a factory. Specatular detailing.
Beautiful pictures, by the way.

Campagnolo Record C 1st Generation Derailleurs

JIm, I think that cast iron truing stand you showed me deserves to be here. (if it isn't already)

Mavic Cranks-Frt-Rear Derailleurs-8 speed Shifters Indexed.

On my Spectrum TI I have nearly a complete Mavic road group!

Front, Rear Derailleur, Crankset and 8 speed indexed shifters!

The stem is Mavic also

No apologies necessary. That bike is loaded with cool!

Plus 10 K! I don't think I had seen that before. Mucho cool. Those bars and stem are amazing.

We ended up having some fun with the photo shoot so we took that Ofmega derailleur and put it in one of our banners on the website. First is the banner and the second photo is of the one we took originally. I"ll try to find some more pics later.
