There's some great stuff here already - love it all!
I figured we'd see a Campy alloy freewheel or two, and I have to agree: they're great to hold in your hand and spin them so that they clack-clack-clack. I used my 6-speed for awhile but my 7-speed is unused.
Keep 'em coming; I'll have a few more here and there

Somec pantographed Campy Mexico crankarms:

I feel kinda guilty using these dual-purpose Looks on my commuter, but I can't seem to find any other clipless/platform combos that I like as much. Couldn't believe my luck when I got them for $6.00 (in NOS condition) at the San Diego Velodrome swap meet; later found another pair in uglier (but still serviceable) shape too.
Cool. Well, I guess I just posted something in this thread.

I can't compete with some of this great stuff, but;
NOS Record levers, repro hoods
Campy 4 hole front. Not really rare.
My Regina stash

I'll see your spoke discs and Flickstand and raise you a NOS Flickstand in the box.
I loved these things back in the day and my friends and I always had them on our bikes. You'd be surprised how many people would ask "what's that" and point to the stand. We'd joke and call them our emergency brakes. That always made for some interesting looks.
What is kind of cool in the photo is the inventory sticker dated 9/27/90 with the price of $6.95. They must have made these for a while because I know I purchased one around 1981.

I actually think these levers are kind of ugly and I just don't buy into the whole carbon fiber thing anyway, but they are rare and I needed them for a restoration. I've read the Sugino 75 group was issued around 1987 for the 75th anniversary of Sugino. They must have made the parts for about a week because they are incredibly difficult to find. The levers all suffer from loss of the lettering and the clearcoat gets hammered looking if you actually use them. They must have some historic significance as early carbon fiber though.

Looks like an attempt to create stress risers.

I think you're going to be saying that a lot in future.

Here are two of my favorite all time gems, fresh from Khatful's Polishing Emporium, a Superbe fluted seat post and a Nitto Crystem. I now have 4 Crystems!

I totally agree about that Simplex typeface. Fabulous.
Here is a bit of Art Deco for bikes:
And my nos pair of Phil Wood pedals. I just can't bring myself to actually use them! (One of the hazards of especially cool old parts. . . sigh.)
