What to do with slightly used Equipment?
AM I blind? Did I miss a flea market forum here? I am sure everyone else has slightly used stuff they bought that is to good to just throw away.

All I need now for the 6th bike is a crankset and bottom bracket. Problem for me is that my slightly used stuff is still too good and I can't part with and old faithfull.

Put it on eBay. That's where most of my parts come from. I just paid $195 plus shipping from England for a 30 year old crankset. There are lots of vintage bike addicted fools like me out there.
