The Felco looks to be about $20 more than the Park. Have a Park in my
tool kit which works for my use. The first Park wire cutter I had lasted
over 20 years. Died when I put too many dents in the cutting edge.

Same for me, now I need to figure how to best incorporate the new center
pulls to a new frame with the best result and economy. Modify a production
frame? Look at TIG steel custom? Good thing winter is just starting, I've
got issues to work out!

You have to bend the tang over the calipers of the R559 sidepull brake
arms when you are using R559's and fenders on a Bleriot with 42mm tires -
almost absolutely no clearance left between the fender and sidepull brakes
arms to run the tang. And because you cannot get the fender
The Hetre is a tad wider, since the tread on the shoulders is thicker.
However, the inside mold is the same shape, so the air volume is the same.
I recommend the Hetre if you like the look (which I agree is beautiful),

Price is $3,333. I paid over $4,700. I live locally in the East Bay and

Our custom pad holders are short enough to clear the seatstays/fork
blades, so the brake can open wide. Most modern pads hit the stays/blades,
which limits how wide the brake can open.
I sure hope that Compass makes those brake holders available separately.
They appear to be another real

This came with a bar-mounted rack that I purchased from Portland Design Works.
I don't need it, so I'm offering it for sale for $35 shipped in the USA.
Absolutely brand new. Nylon exterior; waterproof vinyl interior. Velcro and
snap buckled to close it up. Integral shoulder strap stores inside.
Hi all,
Have a SKF Bottom Bracket Square Taper (JIS) (107 mm, BSC, Red) for sale.
Works well with the Riv sugino cranks. Less than 50 miles on it. Only reason I
am selling is cause I needed wider version.
$105 shipped to CONUS
Best,
