If memory serves there was once someone who made a tool that allowed you to lock your BBT-2 onto the bottom bracket while you tried to remove it. Do you happen to know what I'm talking about? I only ask because I just about outmuscled and stripped mine (in addition to banging the hell out of my knuckles) as it kept slipping out a couple weeks back.

BBT-2 has been claimed. FR-5 is still up for grabs.

I would gladly take the FR-5! I've been slowly trying to collect a good selection of cassette and freewheel tools as I can afford to, but I don't have an FR-5 yet.

And the FR-5 goes to @AustinFitz
I'm hoping to get my workspace tidied up in the next few weeks so I'll have more stuff to share here.

Claimed.
I have a set of Shimano bar end shifters, fair condition. Rear is 9 speed, front is non-matching but it's friction so no matter. These look like someone raced cross with them and spent most of the time falling down, and didn't clean up afterward. They are fairly banged up and are a testament to the build quality.
The rear clicks fine through the detents but the lever bolt is rusted. Also missing the D-ring that turns the friction/SIS ring, but that can be turned with needle-nosed pliers.
The front is missing a washer and the pod has a small crack. I don't think it will progress without further foul play.
Best use for these is probably to harvest the pods for mounting Silver bar ends or similar. The rear could be used as is for a 1 x 9 (or 1 x X, in friction mode) if you don't care about cosmetics.
Free for shipping; hopefully they are light enough to go First Class. Please PM if interested.

Thought I would ask here . DoesAnyone know why I would be unable to post a new thread in the forsale section? I can't find any certain standards you have to meet to post but It seems to just not let me post here.

A little bit of both...currently I am putting together a newer Bianchi frame to move more into the 21st century , bought it as a frame only so the joy of the hunt is fun along with the delayed gratification.
Thanks again, Ben

Arbar Colombian rod brake setup, NOS, free for postage. Hopefully someone with rod brake interests will find something useful in this collection. (I know nothing about rod brakes, and have no idea if anything here will interoperate with other rod brake systems, or if this setup is even complete. Removed from the bag for photos.) Brake levers included.
Flickr is being uncooperative today. I've been so far unable to create an album with the relevant photos (only one is added). If you're interested, browse recent photos in my photostream:

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
Three for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Three for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

I forgot there were people who liked BioPace rings. I've got a set (48-38-28 110, 74, I think) if anyone is bummed about missing out on these.

We have been discussing this lately, any chance the drive side will come out?
Several months ago I picked up a U08 frame and fork off of the list of Craig.
It was a dark and stormy night... well, just the dark part.
it was listed for 20 bones, so I went to grab it.
Fast forward to a bit ago. I dug it out of the garage to see what it needed to put together.
I was looking at it when it occurred to be that it had a tapered spindle instead of cottered.
so I started to remove the adjustment cup, but it's in there. Best I can figure is that the wrong cup was forced into the BB shell.
The frame has a 57cm top tube, a 57cm seat tube (measured from center of BB to top of the top tube)
The fork, the headset, simplex shifters and the neck are all fine, but the frame, it's a loss
Take a look, if there's something there that's useful to you, it's yours for the price of shipping.
