• This is pretty much the bb set I've been putting together, pics from the 1958 Fonteyn / Stronglight catalogue in the VCC library. The bups I have look just like that, but have "STRONGLIGHT" engraved around the lock ring. Looks contemporary with the Competition headset at least.

    The one Hilary is selling me looks a little older from various adverts and engravings I've looked at. Unfortunately bbs aren't such a sexy part that get pictured often in adverts and catalogues :)

  • It's not me I try to avoid selling anything as I always end up needing the part and end up regretting it.
    A prime example would have been my 1950s Cinelli track stem and bars which I sold for peanuts a couple of years back or my Campagnolo twin bolt seat stem which I included in a frame sale and inevitably got peanuts for.

  • Nice engravings. Phnarr etc.
