With spring cycling just around the corner in some parts of the country, there are some great deals out there to be had for sure. I was fortunate enough to snag the last medium pair at almost 50% off. These gloves will be nice to have around on days when the mercury plunges.

New I believe, the headset is still in production and came from Alex Cycle as did the Suzue Hubs which are NOS. This is going on a Araya manufactured Tange 2 frame set from 1983 with some really nice details (total frame set weight 2,572 grams, not fly weight but it's a sportive), with all NJS Nitto stuff and a mixed bag of Dura-Ace 7703, 7803, 7900 drive-line and BR-9100 brake set.

Same here merziac,
I just received a new pair of non B&L sun glasses to replace a lost set, but the quality is just as good as the older models. Smiles, MH

These pronounced curved Campagnolo skewer levers came from a Chicago bike swap meet. I suppose one could've modified them but if so, certainly are nicely done. My poor photo skills probably don't capture the full perspective but both have exact curvature and no mar.
Next, I had a set of Gipiemme alloy skewers acquired NOS from Boulder Bike. Really nice for vintage weight weenie builds and bargain budget.
I'm close to finishing an early 80's euro pro team bike mostly Campy Super Record but with other interesting and not too common parts. With that in mind, I swapped the Campy curved levers to these ally Gipiemme skewers. I think they're pretty cool for that project.

Found a deal on a pair of Supple Vitesse 700x33 tires that will go on a Mercian project.

I stared at those very tires for the bike I just pictured with the Acorn bag, but I just couldn’t get with the color, and at full retail they cost more than I wanted to spend on an urban commuter. A pair of 35mm Paselas should arrive tomorrow. I’d love to see them on your Mercian when they’re mounted.

It's a Ron Cooper Christmas in February...
The green, my racing bike from the seventies, story posted elsewhere.
The red, bought on eBay, and arrived from England today. $190 including excellent Campy Record headset and 56.xx shipping. Suntour Cyclone build from 54 cm Nishiki International purchased as donor. (Will be sold as frame or rebuilt with Shimano 105 and 600, for sale).

I've got a very nice wheelset today, which I paid too much money for. I got a bit paranoid about the package which was "delivered" yesterday but the courier didn't leave any note saying the he'd dropped it at one of my neighbours. So I had no idea where it was. Luckily, the lady who had taken it was nice enough to come by and say that there was a package waiting for me.
Anyway, the wheelset looks very shiny and clean and I don't think it has seen any use at all. Looks NOS to me. I was planning to rebuild the hubs with clincher rims, well I actually got the wheelset because of the hubs. It's a bit odd that Maxi-car hubs are laced into tubular rims to begin with, isn't it?

New shoes for the International. I wanted more width and volume than the 28s.

@ascherer, it's a great commuter tire for the city, and you can't beat the price.
