Kool Stops for the rear of the RockHopper. When I took the first one off to replace it, I discovered that there was plenty of life left. Cleaned up the rim and put it back on.

An NOS Strongight/Spidel model 107 crankset.
Been looking for this for many years and never had the luck of snagging a good one. Getting this finally was even more satisfying as right before I did so, I lost in a bidding war at eBay for one that was used and in less pristine condition as this one. When I found it at eBay again being sold by another seller, I did not waste a second to send the seller an offer, which he fortunately accepted right away. Even got it cheaper than the previous one I bidded on and lost and cheaper than most of the used ones still on sale at eBay (and this one is the more upmarket, IMO, Spidel version too). I really believe that some things happen for a reason, especially after what happened this last week trying to get that first one and thenending up with this better second one instead.
But, then, I lost my chance to buy a Bianchi Giro today, which would have realized my long time dreams of owning an Italian SLX framed C&V bike, which I thought I had first dibs on (being first to post on the ad), because I did not know any facilitators in the area where it was being sold for pick up only.....C'est la vie!

A Phil Wood square taper BB, cups and tools. Wow! Made to high medical standards for machining, finish and cleanliness.
I need a BB where I can dial in the chainline to get it as far in as possible, ie, scraping the chainstay paint. The further in, the better the chainlines for my 3-chainline fix gear. (2 cogs on one side, one on the other and a little bit of dish. Chainlines would be better and easier to obtain if I could get the cog and lockring threading further outboard. Custom hub? Yes, the Phil BB is expensive but it is a lifetime purchase.)

Handlebars and a headbadge came late in the week, I just practiced delayed gratification and didn't open the box until today.

Rechromed fork for my Medici. My main concern at this point is that the frame will be so embarrassed at how nice the fork is that it will demand to be repainted. (Such a first world problem...)

Full thread in the near future but here are a couple of teasers. It is an "aero" frame (although I don't really think it is any more aerodynamic than a regular frame). It has extensively crimped tubing. This is a restoration but it does use original decals from Picchio.
