Road Triples: Avocet/Ofmega, SR Aerox
Here are a couple of nicer road triples I've been holding on to. But I've decided I will be a compact double sort of fellow in my dotage. So I'm offering them here. Prices include US postage.
1. Avocet/Ofmega 172.5. Has light grey 144 BCD outer and middle rings (52/42). It comes drilled for two different BCD inners, and it has a silver 30t in 74 BCD, and a spare 36t in 102 BCD. All rings have plenty of tooth-life left. The triple bolts are a slightly different design than Campy, but are interchangeable with a Record triple for what it's worth. I also have the original Avocet 3-68 English bottom bracket in excellent condition.
Crank + spare ring: $85 shipped. Crank, ring, & BB: $115. SOLD. The BB is not for sale separately, unless someone else takes the crank alone.
2. SR Aerox triple. 170. Currently setup for half-step+bailout in 52/47/28. But I have a spare SR 40t (118 BCD) which I'll include so it could also be set up as a 52/40/28 or 47/40/28. The inner is 74 BCD (same as the Avocet). I don't have the original BB, but it takes something like a 124mm spindle, depending on your chain stay indents and BB shell width. If you need something, I may have something that could work and can check my stash.
Crank and spare ring: $75 shipped.

wow, that avocet is really well engineered. Love the fact you can use a smaller by using the inner bolt holes.

Bump and price drop. Make me an offer if you're interested. I'd like these to find a good home.
