dweenk If the Sprite doesn't get any takers, I would be happy to take the wheels, shifter and rear rack off your hands. I have a 3sp Raleigh Sports which they would work well on.

Free for cost of shipping this box of vintage bike computers. Some were working and likely just need batteries. Others came to me with dead batteries but maybe just need batteries or a little tinkering.

I have two unintentional collections, old bike computers (none of which I actually use, perfecting my Wahoo) and toe clips (most of which are too small for my feet).

Now I feel bad about throwing away 3 or so bike computers in the last month because I either didn't have all the parts for them or wasn't sure which sensor went with which head unit and I haven't used them in a decade. Had totally forgotten about this thread.

Anybody need a 28 x 1 1/2 (635mm) tube? I sold my Raleigh Tourist and forgot to send the spare tube with it. It's just a Sunlite. Let me know!

I received said box from Mad Honk today (many thanks).
I was able to determine that the shoes are men's size 8 - which is 1-1/2 or 2 sizes smaller than I can use. I will be able to use the other set of Look cleats and brake pads.
Consequently, I am paying this forward to whomever expresses interest. I can send separately, but if someone can use it all, that certainly simplifies things.
fwiw the set of unusually-shaped cleats comes with the four mounting bolts

I think I have a use for the slottted cleats if no one has claimed them yet. Looked like it was a pair in the original post. Circled in green.

Newbie
2 Nitto handlebars (Choco & Albatross), 25.4mm, aluminum, from Rivendell
----Both gone----
Free pickup in Los Angeles, CA.
The Nitto Choco is very clean. The Nitto Albatross is a bit scratched near the ends due to scraping off cork grips that were glued on. Both handlebars are correct shape, though (not bent from an accident or anything).
Bought these during Covid times from Rivendell when I had lot of time at home and was experimenting with different handlebars, and ended up not using either.
It was fun trying mustache-style bars just for something unusual.

Back to our regular programming...
I found a couple of sets of Schwinn bike frame decals while cleaning around the shop. Free for anyone wanting them, cost of shipping likely around $2. Smiles, MH
I think I used a few of these on an '86 Peloton that went to WGB
Two sets large solid decals
One full set of white outline decals
Second set of white outline decals

I normally wear a 58mm frame for my Ray Bans and I got these Tifosi optics that seem a bit tight on me. The lens area is not quite what I am used to as well. The dark grey color is just fine but I don't see me wearing them much so off to a new owner they go. The usual rules first to PM me is first in line, cost of shipping by USPS from Bloomington, IN Smiles, MH
Gone! 1-15-23
These need to have a cleaning cloth made of microfiber for some reason, likely the lens material. the body size is more like a 56mm. Glasses and case.

This stem came in as part of a damaged Colnago that was a 1973 model so this stem may be 50 years old, but I suspect someone here might want it. I have no use for it, so it wants to go to a new home. As usual PM me, smiles, MH
From the left side. 95 length.
Right side picture. A few nicks that can likely be buffed out.
The stem will be going east when I get the shipping information. Smiles, MH

More cleaning of the shop today. I thought I would try cloth tape again on a Trek 1.2 that left a few weeks ago. I was not pleased with the results but since it left I am OK. So I found some excess tape rolls while cleaning that can go to anyone willing to pay shipping from Bloomington, IN. Two rolls of Newbaum's maroon tape and some maroon tape that had the foam on the back side. That tape was not an easy one to install for me so the foam was removed and it still was not one I wanted to keep. PM me, MH
Two rolls of maroon tape and some lightly used wide tape.

Tifosi is pretty good too but it can always pay to heed factory advice.
I was an optician for 4 years way back, coatings, tinting and mirror were all a PITA to get done right and be robust enough to put up with the buying public that didn't/don't care/understand proper care of them and insisted on just scrubbing with anything they could find, grit and all.
One key thing is to carefully wash them with dish soap before cleaning with the microfiber and the dedicated lens cleaner and not scrub too hard.

If you scrape the larger width tape it can be used but it was just not what I wanted so it all comes as a package. Send me shipping info by PM. Smiles, MH

This has been a LONG time coming. Throw up some pics of the 1960s Campy-equipped bike that you are working on getting restored that you need this one for, and it's all yours.
