Moving back to California next weekend, so here’s a bunch of stuff I just don’t feel like bringing back with me.
I am under no illusions that this stuff is particularly valuable or exemplary in any way, but there's no bicycle co-op or the like here in town to donate, and I'd hate to just chuck 'em in the bin, so they're priced accordingly. Please note that these items are for delivery to an Australian postal address only, and all prices include shipping via AusPost Parcel Post 500g Sachel with tracking at $8.25 a pop. Payment via PayPal personal/gift, please and thanks. I’d really like to get these in the post ASAP, so if you’re keen, please plan to organise your payment on the sooner side. Email *sameness at gmail dot com* with questions or interest. Thanks!

Pulled from an old Peugeot. Front is nutted, rear bolts vertically through the brake bridge. Brand new, unused set of Dia-Compe OPC-66 Gray Matter cantilever brake pads installed. Includes four original brake pads and two original cable straddle hangers. Disregard that lone shoeless brake in the last pic; it’s just to show off the pads and hangers below. *Jandd Mountaineering Seat Bag, made in USA ca.1980s - $20.00 shipped* Used but fine useable condition. Approx. dimensions when fully stuffed are 17cm long, 7cm tall, 5cm at the front, and about 9cm at the back. A little dirty from regular use, with some road grease here and there, most noticeable at the top front, i.e. the area directly beneath the saddle. *Avenir Steel Toe Clips, Size M - $15.00 shipped* Made in France, ca. 1980s. I wear a men’s 8.5 AUS/9.5 USA/43 Euro, and they fit me fine. Rough measurement from where they bolt onto the pedals to the forward most part of the split toe cage is approximately 55mm. Light surface pitting and finish oxidation, but overall still pretty shiny. *Shimano 105 Downtube Shifter Levers, Model SL-1050 - $20.00 shipped* Circa mid-1980s. Rear is adjustable between friction and indexed 6 speed (and possibly 7 speed?); front is friction only. Shimano downtube adaptors are included, but no boss bolts. Good cosmetic condition for their age, with minor pitting and finish oxidation. Part of the black screened S and H on the front shifter is worn away. *Shimano 105 Double Front Derailleur, Model FD-1050 - $20.00 shipped* Circa mid-1980s. Road double, 28.6 seat tube clamp. Some surface scratches, minor pitting, and wear to the black accent paint consistent with its age, but is totally mechanically functional. *Shimano 105 SC Double Front Derailleur, Model FD-1056 - $20.00 shipped* Circa 1990s. Road double, braze-on as stock, but with aftermarket 28.6 seat tube clamp included as pictured. Hey, maybe you just need the clamp? Again, surface scratches, minor pitting, totally functional. *Rivendell NOBS Sunglasses - $20.00 shipped* H.L. Bouton safety glasses, aka NOBS sunglasses, made in the USA, as-new in the original box. I bought two pair from Riv years ago, so they’re brand new and have never been worn. Translucent dark grey frame with green lenses. You can pop and swap the lenses; Riv still sells replacements in green and grey: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/az51.htm *Rivendell MUSA Knickers, Size M, Black - $40.00 shipped* These are the original incarnations, i.e. they have the Velcro adjustable straps, not the elastic and buckles like the new ones. I tried to like these, but I just can’t get down with wearing nylon. I’ve worn them about half an hour in total around the house hoping to get over my nylonophobia, never once on a bike. They’ve been through a cold wash and line dry maybe three times. Note that I carefully removed the MUSA patch from the strap with a seam ripper (not a fan of logos on my clothes), so the underlying stitching is still perfect. New ones are $66.00, so basically less than half price. Jeff Hagedorn Warragul, VIC Australia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
