I've accumulated a bunch of DA 7400 parts over the past three years and never done anything with them. I was going to use them on a frame I'm building in Doug Fattic's class, but decided to go in a more Italian direction. Looking around my lair I see no other obvious candidate frames on which to hang these parts (none has turned up in three years, and I'm really trying not to grow the collection), so I decided to sell them to recoup the cost of the Campagnolo bits.

Here's what I have:

• 7400 crank, dust caps and fixing bolts, plenty of shoe rub, teeth have seen some use
• Brake levers, dark finish, excellent shape
• Brake calipers – two sets, one (dark finish) complete, one (light finish) missing an adjuster
• 7401 rear derailleur (6-7sp?), good shape with a smoewhat worn fuschia Bullseye or similar lower pulley
• Downtube shift levers – 8sp pod installed, 7sp pod included
• Two bottom brackets, one Italian, one British, and an extra British spindle and dust cover
• Two front derailleurs, one braze-on, one clamp-on (missing the clamp bolt), 28.6mm I believe
• 7400 hubset including skewers, 127mm rear spacing, 32H

Here's the overall picture of the above listed bits.



I have a Flickr album with more up-close pictures as well. Not included in the photo above, but in the Flickr album are:

• Two MF-7400 7sp freewheels, unused since getting the Freewheel Spa treatment
• 6207 hubset (no skewers), nice shape 36H, 121 rear spacing.
• RD-5501 rear derailleur (105?), long cage, graphics gone, a little rash on the upper pivot.

But wait, there's more!

Also included, but not shown, is an RD-7402 rear derailleur (8sp, hidden lower pivot bolt). It's currently partially disassembled at my son's place in Portland. We were toying with the idea of 3D printing a long cage for it, but that didn't happen. When I get it back I will reassemble it, update the thread with a couple pictures and send it along . It's also in nice shape (no road rash).

I'd like to sell the entire lot in one bundle. I'm asking $450 net to me, shipped in US. If it doesn't sell as a single bundle, I'll update the thread with individual prices.

:bump:

A couple people have inquired about subsets of the collection. Feel free to make me an offer on the whole enchilada or express interest in a subset. If nobody buys everything, I'll start to piece it out by the end of the week.

smontanaro , what's the crank length?

smontanaro 

Sorry, forgot to add it here, just on Flickr. They are 175s, with the Shimano de facto standard 53/39 chainrings.

smontanaro 

Nobody seems to want the whole collection, so PM me (or email skip.montanaro@gmail.com) with your partial collection interests. Nothing is cast in stone yet, but I'm keeping a list of requests and responding in order.

Brake levers hubs and shifters have been claimed.

Thanks, a bit too long for my current preferences. Technically I'm tall and long-legged enough for 175 cranks, and have 'em on a couple of bikes. But at 65 with age, arthritis and injuries, I'm finding shorter cranks easier on my knees and hips.

Come to think of it, I may already have a set of 170 Dura Ace cranks in a box somewhere. I need to dig around. Seems like I had that crankset on my old early 1990s Trek 5900 OCLV, which I haven't ridden since late 2019 when the headset needed work. I completely disassembled that bike and never got around to rebuilding it. I need to do that. It was a great bike. Atrocious purple and brownish-yellow color scheme, but fun to ride. And it looked like something nobody would want to steal, unless they knew the history of that particular model.

('scuse the late response -- feeling kinda puny the past week, some kinda virus, haven't been online much.)

Dam! Wish I would have seen this earlier; had those hub bearings proven non pitted I would have bought this entire gruppo from you straight away.
