Many thanks to dmark for a perfect transaction on that Nevar crankset last week - and also, a belated thank you to him for going above and beyond to help facilitate picking up, packing, and shipping a Humber to me earlier last year. Super fellow; couldn't ask for a nicer person.

Received three very nice hubs from @Mr. 66. One is a 40 hole Nashbar so now I just need a 36 hole to match. Very well packed and being delivered to Ye Olde Wheelbuilder, either tomorrow or Tuesday.

I received a very nice set of 1st gen Dura Ace brake calipers from Bianchigirll - much better than I deserve. The swiftness of the delivery blew my mind and the packaging was the stuff dreams are made of. This was certainly a transaction for the history books from a truly legendary forum member.

Bought a frame from Catnap, It was packaged extremely well, and shipped fast. It was also just as he described it. Thank you!

It polished up like new. Just waiting on some of the team that was involved in the original pilot program to fill in a few history gaps before the bike gets its own dedicated page at the Museum.
Also have the Breeze put together too, but need to get a few bits for it from the fellows at Boise GreenBike before completing it and taking photos. Shop is pretty packed right now, and I've still promised to refurb a 1950's Raleigh and Triumph for a local bike advocate too.

Shout out to seanallant for the Campy Record/Mavic Open Pro wheelset. Wheels exactly as described, expert packing, quick shipping, a joy to deal with. He even refunded some $$$ when shipping proved a bit cheaper than he anticipated. A real stand-up seller Thanks, Sean.

Adding to the pile of great experiences sourcing from hazetguy. He had a set of cranks that I'd been looking for at a good price. He packed them up well and shipped em promptly... What more can you ask for? These 170mm are just what the bike fitter ordered!

Just got a very nice freewheel from dukeofearl . Looks like the package went through the USPS torture chamber but the part arrived in good shape thanks to a great packing job.

Another belated thank you to malcala622 - this Santa Monica Breeze (a SoBi 3.0) is also one of the bikes he packed and shipped over for me along with the SoBi 1.0 above.

I had a great transaction with RB1-luvr as the buyer last week, payment went perfect and communication was excellent. Would love to do business with him again.

Just wanted to give a big (and in some cases, belated) "thumbs-up" to the following BikeForums members. They've each helped me out with hard to find vintage parts.

Great people, one and all. Thanks again, folks.

fender1 (Brian) is an absolute legend, folks.
Though both of us apparently failed to notice some fairly hard-to-notice front end damage in a Bianchi Professional until it arrived at my doorstep, Brian immediately offered a full refund of the purchase price and shipping. Not only that, he agreed to let my grubby little hands have a go at trying to cold-set the frame back into alignment before shipping it back, knowing full well the bowed top tube might bow even more.
The straightening was a resounding success too. Thread here for those curious: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...l#post22760500
