A set of Carradice Bagman support strutts. Not really necessary but I like the look and possibility to haul some heavier stuff in it when necessary. And it's probably safer with the nearly 3 Kg (6.6 lbs) worth of lock and other bits and pieces in there when going up and down sidewalks.

This swell Shimano 105 5600 mini group. I thought I knew where I wanted it to go but now, I just can’t decide! Just glad that I got it!

While I'm the definition of a Luddite - no index-shifting for me, thankyouverymuch... I'm in the process of rehabbing/outfitting a recently acquired '88 Miyata 615 for my niece who live across the country. I was somewhat reluctant to undertake such a ting, but a lugged touring bike is somewhat scarce or financially unobtainable out there in the PacNorWest (Idaho panhandle, actually)
I'm replacing all of the cableing with stainless slick inner wires, and new housing for both shifters and derailleurs. The bike is maroon with gold lettering, so I got metallic gold brake housing, but the tail-end (chainstay-rear derailleur housing loop was still the original from 30+ years ago. Since this bike is blessed/cursed with Shimano SIS index shifting, I wanted to keep friction to a minimum to avoid shifting issues... I was able to find an eBay listing for Teflon-lined 4mm Shimano housing in 600mm lengths at a good price. Gray only... Oh well... So I got the three 600mm lengths of housing today. I'll probably have to trim that chainstay housing loop a bit...

A new pin for my Carradice saddlebag of an Akai Reel-to-reel. Sadly not an Akai 635D like I have (used to be my grandfather's) but the 747 is also one of the cooler models. 
Also came with a Pioneer RT-707 pin.

A 7 speed 14-28t shimano FW that I am going to try on my 89 Specialized Allez cause I am old and I have lots of hills in my neighborhood and some replacement pre 1998 8 spd Campy Ergo power hoods for a early 90s Giant Allegre road bike I intended to sell, The stock hoods as found were torn and held together with electrical tape.

Shout out to some of my favorite government employees, the USPS. Hazetguy sent me a Cinelli stem on Friday from the east coast. It arrived on my west coast doorstep on Monday. No ****.

This came in the post. It's a Meilan M3 GPS computer, and it mounts wherever a Garmin mounts. Does anyone want it? I'll send it to you. I got it for free from the vendor just so I would write a review, which I plan to do.
It doesn't export data, so it's like an old fashioned bike computer that used sensors, except this uses GPS rather than magnetic sensors.

Buckles and webbing to allow me to knock up some under saddle tool rolls. But until I have ten posts you will just have to imagine them.

A few things for the '86 Miyata 610 I'm rebuilding. I'm switching to kapton tape for rim tape. 144 yds of the stuff was $8 on ebay.

An new pump. 
160 psi from 5 1/2 inches and less than three ounces. Given my experience with Lezyne's Road Drive so far I have little reason to doubt that claim.

An ebay seller had several Sunrace chromed 7-speeds for $22 shipped. I waited till he had three left. The last Sunrace 7-speed I purchased was $30, and I just used my last chromed 6-speed in my bin on the Miyata 610 I just finished. So, didn't need it immediately, but they've been good to me, and it doesn't hurt to have a spare.

A hi/lo adjuster for my Simplex Juy 61 derailleur, here shown against a Raid Export 32. The adjuster itself came from an early Prestige. Now all I have to do is finish off "fabricating" the little posts and figure out how to affix them to the 61.
