Yesterday I sold my KHS. Tomorrow there is a bike swap and I checked out some of the goods today while I was volunteering. I have my eye on a couple of things. Do you think these parts are worth picking up for the parts box (probably for summer projects)?

NOS Dura Ace front road hub with new bearings - $25
Shimano 600 27.2 seat post (non-aero) - $10
Shimano 600 front road hub - $20

I'm mostly having trouble deciding on the Dura Ace hub. There were a couple of other hubs (105/Sansin), too, but I don't want to have that many spare hubs around.

There is also a sweet lugged and coupled frame that a local guy built while he was at UBI with Velocity Deep Vs and Sugino 75s, but they want $650 for it.

One word: Andel

lugged and coupled for 650 isnt bad at all. (if the frame was built right)

it will be worthless if he doesnt travel with it. but if he does... indeed, not bad at all.

shimano 600 post should be nice for 10 bucks. if you dont end up using it, youre not out too much.

dura ace front hub is debatable. are you planning on using it?

this is true for everything he is asking about. its only worth it if you are going to use the stuff. they are good prices but if they are just going to sit they will be useless.

What?

Anyways, thanks for the input, guys. I think I'll pick up the Dura Ace hub. I was thinking about picking up a set of IROs to build something next semester, and this hub is only $5 more.

I don't need the 600 post right now, but $10 seems like a good deal since it is in pretty good condition. On eBay, a NOS with shop wear went for $100.

I took a look at the lugged/coupled frame. It looks well made, but is also hideous at the same time. Yellow Deep Vs, red lugged fork, matte black frame, fenders... yikes.

DA hub, yes> The rest, invest in silver.
