My latest purchases are a Simplex Tour De France derailleur, a pair of early Fiamme track sprints on BHC Airlite hubs and a beautiful Durax Chainset.
The derailleur needs a clean but looks nice.
The sprints look great but as they are track versions they aren't designed for brakes, although by brakes seem to work with them ok once adjusted. I will probably fit these to my Hobbs Raceweight as that is a track frame with only one brake and I should be able to use the brake less. I'm still on the look out for some 27" wheels at an affordable price.
The Durax chainset is a work of art in the flesh. Its light and very elegant. much better than I expected. It dates from the late 30s to early 50s I think.
