looks like the RD from the Falcon I got from my dad that I think was the first post I ever made on BF -- but seems like 'all posts by user' on my profile doesn't conveniently take me really all the way back?

More junk out of my trunk! This is an orphan rear caliper. Same old rules; first to PM and cost of shipping. Smiles, MH

Fair condition but could use a cleaning, and an adjuster barrel.

Model number and back side.

This frame has some serious quirks, most of which I didn't realize till I got home and having paid too much already, chapped me a bit more but oh well.

HS cups were pretty loose, I shimmed and "clear" loctited them in.

Then found this a bit later,

the hanger is tweaked at least 3 different ways, very subtle but very much there, still sussing out a strategy for dealing with that so.....

Pretty hard to see but its there.

Its been in the queue for quite awhile and needs some paint at least, may just get some more white rattle can, we'll see.

Claimed! 2-13-24 While cleaning up around here I found this new set of a pair of Burley rain pants that have fairly long leg room, and a pair of rain foot protectors. If interested PM me. Smiles, MH

I probably bought these a few years ago, but they are new and never worn. Size large likely around 34" waist and pretty long leg length.

This one is now gone,2-17-24
So yet another F&F showed up here in the shop. And as a guy suffering from SHS (Shrinking Human Syndrome) that now fits a 54cm this one is never gonna fit me. So here it is as a Pay It Forward item for someone it will fit. As always cost of shipping from here in Bloomington, IN. likely $75, PM me, Smiles, MH

New roughly 60 cm frame and fork. Seems to be a 2013 Al road frame.

Model is Allez comp.

Sizing sticker that suggests 61 cm size.

Bar Ends

Claimed! On the way to a new home!

Rescued some Suntour Bar Cons from a bike in a scrap pile. Figured they would be of use to someone. One works great, the other doesn’t ratchet consistently. Both have the little round nut that always goes missing so they are probably good for parts. Yours for the price of a flat rate box.

Items taken

A couple years ago I upgraded to the Garmin Edge 130, so I no longer need these. This week I charged both devices to 100% and set them to run for 8 hours. After that the batteries were down to 13-14% power. According to my records, the batteries in both devices have been replaced. I believe the button on the black device is a bit troublesome, but did work for me this week. My proposal is to offer one Edge 500 and one K-Edge Garmin mount for the price of postage ($6.90).

I'd like to see them go to someone who will use them.

Bike nobody wants - last chance before the scrap pile - Free, Free, Free

Local pick-up only - San Pedro, CA

I will give this a few days and when no one claims it, I will hand it to the scrap truck Edit: Hyperbole - I was trying to get a reaction, I was hoping for "I'll save it" but got "how dare you!", fair enough never thrown away so much as a rusty bolt! Sorry to create the unnecessary concern

Special Steel L1011 - 22" frame US Express - missing bolt on front brake, everything else is there.

That frame is pretty boss, somebody could upgrade this into a really sweet commuter/about-town bike

That person is not me though -- hope somebody rescues this from the scrap bin

I second the suggestion to donate it rather than scrap. If there are any bike shops nearby that deal with vintage I’m sure they’d be glad to take it off your hands. I’d grab it for sure if I wasn’t 2500 miles away.

IF it comes to that I would cut the cables and keep the stem and bars, levers, shifters, they are a bit cool and unique.

I would keep the wheels too if they are ok like they seem.

Too bad it is a claw RDO, apparently a BSO trait too far.

And its a big one, can be good or bad.

Too bad, in the zone where the cost of repair is more than it's worth. I fix these and give them away but I've got a stash of used parts. I'd at least give it some time at the curb with a free sign.

I am offering a broken wheel. Bontrager made. It had a 10-speed cassette on it, and it was built with 24 spokes. The rim broke. I offer the hub or the hub plus spokes. You won't want the rim. Notice the spoking pattern. Pay me the shipping cost.

All of the pictures are here
