Got a pair of "MKS Team SVX" pedals from a neighbour who was cleaning house. Not much to be found online except for some Czech and Hungarian forums but they look similar to the MKS RX-1 or Supreme.
Bearings feel a bit rough but luckily I do have the MKS cap spanner so an overhaul should be easy enough.

Some Campy SR Brake Calipers from @Dean51 showed up today. He said they were in great shape, but I was still amazed at how nice they are. I just noticed there's also the corner ofan invoice from the Freewheelspa @PastorBob for a pair of early DA pretty much NOS 5-speed freewheels in the picture from last week.

Thought I needed some back ups
In the process of preparing for a ride, found 3 more Challenge Elite tires on hoop hanging from the ceiling! I can make excuses about memory but it is hard to justify not looking around!

A tin of Proofide to restore the Brooks on the Raleigh Sports and the Dawes Galaxy, and an alloy seat post for the Dawes. Yesterday was a nice set of Huret Challenger derailleurs. Got some more stuff coming for the Dawes. Can't wait to see what shows up tomorrow!

Got a pair of BR-CX50 cantis to go into my Centurion Pro Tour15. Rear fits nice with shortest spacer. Front will cut a longer spacer and bolt shorter to fit in right.

Got Panaracer Pasela tires, tubes and rum strips for the Dawes today. Pretty excited to mount those.
An alleged aluminum seat post came in from an eBay seller yesterday. Opened the box and it seemed heavier than it should. Magnet revealed that it was just zinc plated steel. Told the seller and he refunded my purchase price, and said no need to return it. I'll send it back anyway.

A pair of leather handlebar covers. Indispensabili per vincere, so I had to have them.

Continuing my reckless buying spree, a set of NOS Weimann brake hoods arrived today. It was a rainy day, so I spent it upgading the derailleurs from the original Simplex to a nice set of Hurets I got last week, and installed the brake hoods at the same time.

My Chromoplastic fenders arrived. Ordered for the Dawes Galaxy, but I'm rethinking that. I might return them or keep them for another project

No matching chrome bike to put it on (yet), but I was very pleased to finally find a 23" long chrome Silca for less than $120.

Spokes!
The 700c wheel with a 3 speed hub I built with the spokes.
Actually the spokes came yesterday.

That's fast. Takes me weeks or months to get around to building a wheel once I have the parts together...

I've been keeping an eye out for Suntour XC Pro cantis and finally found a champagne gold set at a reasonable price. They'll eventually go on my '90 ST1000, but first I need to find another pair.
