The haul from the last few days, bars from Mad Honk , toe clips from Boulder Bike, and TA crank (for my Griffon, Eroica-bound?) from eBay. The crank will get new rings, but it's otherwise in good shape.

The pedals on my Fuji Folding bike are having problems after so many years of use. They weren't particularly sturdy when new, and now they are coming apart at the seams. Yea, I know, pedals don't have seems. My preference for pedals is always MKS however, I'm not riding the Fuji Folder as much as I was hoping to and therefore don't want to spend as much on this bike as I would for my more, umm, favored bikes.
So, I went cheaper and got these with a Walmart online order that I had put together for some more mundane items.
They feel sturdy, and similar to MKS, are a little bit stiff now, but I'm expecting them to loosen up when they get some miles on them. I'm looking forward to trying these out. My only other concern with these pedals are that they have these grippy pins on them, which is good for holding onto shoe soles, but could be a problem if I put the bike in the back seat of my car as it could tear the upholstery. We see how things go with them.

Thursday I got in some Campagnolo clamp on DT shifters so I can convert the Holdsworth Professional back to a proper drop bar setup. Friday I got in a big quantity of loose 3/16" and 5/32" ball bearings. My supply was getting low on those sizes.

malcala622 Nice Bianchi. I'd like to have one of those frames but most of '87s I see are too far away and/or too expensive. It's the same frame they used on the Sport SX and is a good rider.

I spent some time on flea bay the other day and found this item. I wasn't looking for it but I found it interesting and so I bought it because it was pretty cheap.. Arrived today and it really has a few interesting features. Can you spot them and figure out what I saw in this relic? Smiles, MH
An older model Gran Compe caliper.
I kinda bought it with this feature as the value of the caliper.
It certainly will need some small parts that will need to come from the Co-Op, but It will be put back together correctly.
And I had this matching caliper in the junk box so a matched pair will be the result.
