Duopar Titane in like new condition. $22.50 on eBay. The seller wrote that the spring was broken but it just came out of its stop. No mounting bolt/washer either, but I have an extra.

I was having a hard time finding sidepulls that would support a 700c build, and still work aesthetically for the frame they’d be mounted to. These Gran Compes came with a Campy drop bolt in the rear. Bingo!
Levers were a separate purchase. Still, both packages arrived today. Pretty cool. Unfortunately though, the hoods reek of cigarettes 🤮

I’d recently scored a nice set of Gran Compes but they were missing the barrel adjusters. Today a set of Campy Centaurs as parts donors. The adjusters are a perfect fit, and they look right too. Results of a fine BF trade. Thanks Law! @3speedslow

Two years my cheap self has been looking for a Campy freewheel tool. Having missed a charitably priced non-Campagnolo one sold here recently, I decided to check the evil empire and there it was... ($20 vs. $12 here) but I paid the 8 bucks more, and it arrived today. After I make dinner for my daughter..... I'm wrenching!

I traded for a set of 10sp Campy bar end shifters, with the additional backing plates. to create 2/3 x 10 Campy using DT shifters and standard brake levers.
They arrived a long time ago, and I just decided to get them out, pull the rubber covers off, polish off the glue residue, etc, and mount them.
Alas, I could not get them to index.....so I punted and ordered 10sp Centaur Ergos, which came today.
However, @nesteel said "Robbie, you can do this," so I took one last crack at it.
45 minutes later, they work. Indexed 10sp downtube Campy.
So, I have some chagrin, and these Centaur Ergos….
