Kilroy1988 

Hello folks,

I'm looking to sell all of my spare bicycle components. I thought about making a pile of Ebay auctions, but admittedly some of the items are worth no more than a few bucks, so I've decided to advertise them here as a lot. I would like $200 for everything together, and that price includes shipping within the continental United States (hopefully in a single large box). If someone local to me is interested in the lot, then I will knock $50 off the price if they are picked up in Dinuba, CA.

Please see the Flickr album below for more detailed photos of all of the parts:

Please feel free to ask for any more specifics. I would absolutely prefer to sell these items as a lot to someone who might find many of them useful, or be willing to re-sell them individually. Included are:

- Seven handlebars. Two are old Schwinn stamped pieces, one drop and one roadster/cruiser style. Another is a brand new Wald cruiser bar with a backward sweep and almost straight-back points. Another is an SR World Randonneur set that came off of a 1979 Centurion Pro Tour that I had. Another is unmarked and came off of a ~1980 Raleigh Super Course 12 and need to have bar tape residue cleaned off. The wide Nitto bars are unmarked otherwise, and I can't remember what they came off of, either. They are in great condition sans the bar tape residue! The last pair is a narrow Sakae Road Champion model.

- Five stems. One is a Schwinn piece with two 1" measurements, and a missing lock screw. Another is an "SR AX-90" and is 22.2mm. The third is a Sturmey-Archer with a 25.4mm measurement that came off of the Raleigh Super Course 12. One is just labeled SR and I believe it has a 25.4mm insertion. The last one is an ITM Millenium alloy stem (known for being uber lightweight back in the early 2000s) that is 110mm.

- Five seat posts. One long chromed swept-back piece that has a 1" insertion. One SR Laprade 27.2mm with a pretty worn look, but totally solid fittings. An SR L-79 27.2mm labeled "Raleigh" from the Raleigh Super Course 12 that is also pretty worn but functional. A long SR Sakae D 91 27.0mm. Finally, a short SR Laprade D-80 26.8mm.

- Two saddles. One is a white knock-off of a San Marco Regal. The other is from a Felt cruiser that I purchased new nearly a decade ago and has a very similar shape to the Regal. Both are in great condition, although the rivets on the Felt saddle are tarnished.

- An SR Apex triple crank set that came from a 1979 Centurion Pro Tour, with 170mm arms. 52-42-34 tooth rings.

- A single Weinmann brake lever with a Carlton hood, like those on a Raleigh International.

- A set of Dia Compe brakes that came off of the 1979 Centurion Pro Tour. Included are the levers, frame-mounted calipers and all of the hardware to set them up (sans cables).

- An old stem-mounted Suntour shifter setup with a Suntour "Sprit" (misspelled spirit?) front derailleur, both off an early 1970s Centurion Le Mans.

- A pair of old brown rubber "Hunt Wilde" handlebar grips.

- A quick-release seat post clamp.

- Two alloy bottle cages (one polished and one satin) and a saddle-mounted cage holder for triathlon use.

Oh, and I'll also include this early 80s Raleigh crank set that I purchased to replace a replacement crank set that was on the Super Course 12 mentioned previously! Some previous owner long ago engraved their name in tiny script along the non-drive arm, but otherwise the set is fairly clean and quite functional. It has 165mm arms and is missing one of the dust caps. 49-40 chain rings.

I have those exact same Raleigh cranks (in 52/42) on a 60cm Raleigh Grand Prix. Which idiot thought it would be a good idea to put 165mm cranks on a 60cm frame?! Probably the non-bike-riding accountant who said, "Keep costs down by using only one crank for the entire line."

Wasn't me, I wasn't there! Had I been, I would have done the same thing, though. I have 165's on all my bikes (mostly 60 and 61 cm frames) and they seem pretty good. I have 160's on a couple, but those are harder to find.

To each their own. I only noticed it because I felt like my pedal strokes were "confined." Then I checked and sure enough, 165's.

I will officially go on record as stating I can never feel the difference in crank arm length.

It's only ever bothered me to realize that my saddle could be 10mm closer to the frame if I had 175mm crank arms rather than 165mm.

icepick- try putting 165's on one bike and 175's on another and close your eyes while riding. You will feel a difference. Trust me.

icepick_trotsky 

I do have 165s on one bike and 175s on another. Never ridden anywhere with my eyes closed, though!

Howdy folks,

I'm ready to start parting these things out. If anyone is interested in something in particular, we can negotiate prices. Cheers!
