Off of EBay:
-Front Vintage Dura Ace caliper, really rusty steel bits and heavily oxidized aluminum, really a major overhaul project!
-Campy 9-speed brifter, in really nice shape, ready for a "tune-up"
-2.5mm spacers for my Dura Ace 70mm octalink bottom bracket, ready to go on the Fuji Team Fuji with a 105 crankset!

Thanks to fellow member Belg-Ital Steel, I recieved this nicely polished 27.0 Campy seatpost for my Olmo. Nicely packed for shipping from Belgium. I owe you a Delirium Tremens if I ever get over there. Thanks

^+1 on the Olmo, that bike just wouldn't be as great without that fine seatpost.

Still waiting for frame and fork from Poland...
- Campagnolo Nuovo Front Derailleur - CPSC
- Campagnolo Record Crankset Bolts + Caps (Very nice condition, but still hurting from the $$, will feel better once riding)
- Shimano Ultegra 27.2 NIB seat post (does it belong on an Italian build...hmmm)

My new Velo Orange French-Thread bottom bracket arrived. I'm building up a Vitus 979 frame with Shimano components from an old Miyata. The Miyata is English threads, and won't fit the French threads on the Vitus. So now I have cranks and derailleurs, and only need the bar-end shifters to get it on the road. With a little luck, we'll be logging miles by the weekend.

I received some pedal cages, elk hide sew on cage covers, and straps all from VO. the even though some of my sewing was not so great, i think they turned out ok. though i think these might be too nice and shiny next to my old beat up campy road pedals...

The message that the seller won't wait for me to pick up the bike on Sunday and will contact the next highest bidder to see if he can come earlier ...

Hate it when USPS or Fedex tracking just goes into zombie mode and does not give you any idea where the package really is, It usually eventually arrives, even without anything posted on their tracking app, but it's just frustrating not to really know if there is a problem......
Waiting for some goodies to come in that were estimated originally to arrive yesterday,....... which of course, didn't
......and the tracjking still shows no progress....
RATS!

Yep. The reason? "I'm pregnant and I really need to clean up!"

Not especially. To be honest I just take what's given to me, and I've been reluctant to make requests. I prefer really strong coffee and most of the time I get medium-bodied beans with strong floral notes. I had a Sumatra blend with a nice earthy taste I enjoyed.

I couldn't help myself when I saw these. I love the old British cycling scene.
