More estate stuff

The box of parts I was supposed to get last week was delivered today. There's a lot to throw away and some surprising things. I've only glanced through it

Fork-mount bolt-on lamp bracket, is my guess.

Sturmey Archer hub and shifter

Maface hoods that need a good cleaning

One of two Hercules Synchro shifters

Too bad there was only one box of this cotton bar tape

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e90ab398e4.jpg

NOS T.A. Criterium cleats with nails

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...754a1c8aba.jpg

And what seems to be a rare Schwinn Paramount adjustable track stem. It needs a good cleaning too

Cool parts. What model hub is that. The indicator wing nut is on the wrong side and should be reversed. If it's an ASC hub you'll need other changes too.
The Hercules shifters date to about 1950, they were offered on the Herailleur indexed system in '49.

scozim this is a 40 hole hub, right?

Fixed gear 3 speed with a proprietary shifter and an indicator rod and nuts on both sides.

Love that!

Interesting; both of my 543's have plastic pulleys, yours has metal. Possibly a change they made during production?

Couldn't tell you for sure but based on the instructions in the box I'd say the metal smooth ones were from the factory and the plastic may have been changed by a subsequent owner. The instructions are all in French and my high school French class from 40 yrs ago only vaguely helps now.

Makes sense, except I am the original owner; well, bought from a guy who had them still untouched in the original boxes when I bought them from him in the mid-1970's along with other things in his basement stash. And these pulleys are stamped Simplex and oddly, offset with one boss thicker than the others, I guess unique to the 543 of did other Simplex derailleurs use such a thing (are your metal ones offset?)

By the way, with help, my wife translated the instructions, then I found them in English on one of the common old-bike websites. C'est la vie! :lol:

Wait, is that really an ACS?

Try oxiclean bath on those brake hoods.

Super nice from what year are these parts

Not sure how to tell - I don't see ACS stamped on it
Just says Sturmey Archer and AW. Also has 53 stamped on it

Duban Supremo freewheel- one of the notches is a little buggered up. Not sure the threading

Not sure what these are but they are sort of cool.

Ok, It would have ACS where the AW is. It also wouldn't freewheel in either direction, but would have a bit of play. I've only seen one in my life and that was on a bike at the first NAHMBS.
