Hi all,
I have collected several parts that I won't now be using, so am offering them up here. Prices don't include postage- the smaller items will cost £3. The bulkier items vary, and the pricier ones will include an extra fee for insurance cover.
A forum donation will be made if most of the stuff sells here. If there's little interest here I'll be moving it onto eBay, although I'd prefer selling to you chaps.
Shimano Dura-Ace AX 7300 bars
If you know these bars, you'll be aware that they're pretty much the rarest and most sought after vintage DA kit around (Shimano gave the bars a v limited run), and this example is in lovely condition. Width is 38cm and clamp size is 26mm. These are part of Shimano's AX 'aero' groupset, the upshot of which is the design included a few tweaks to the bars profile- this being that they're ovalised along the flats, as well as having a subtle downward curve there, quite like pursuit bars etc. The central sleeve is hardly marked, just a few fine lines if you look closely. The bars show some zigzagging around the ends, but of course these will be under the tape. Nothing else to speak of. There's still some tape residue on them but this will clean off easily. They still feel very stiff when on the bike.
When these occasionally show up on EBay the price is often upwards of £80, and sometimes silly money, due to the rareness. On this site they've also sold for a fair bit. I'm pricing mine at £70. I can give a discount on the bars and stem if bought as a package.
Shimano Dura Ace 7200 stem. Close matching aero shaped stem for the above bars. Not in quite the same league of rarity as the bars, but still pretty scarce. These also have an 'aero' design, the bar clamp being the internal bolt type, and the bolt head area is given a reduced profile, due the wedge bolt being fully internally housed in the stem.
Condition is only good due to some slight cable rub to the head where it curves away towards the underside (hard to spot in this location), and some wear to the finish just underneath the DA logo. The rear bolt cover isn't the original DA one with manufacturer name etched on, but is a cover taken from a 600 AX model, and if an original-looking one is required then repro ones can quite easily be sourced on EBay. Clamp size 26mm, length 120mm.
Price £40

BLB Pista Vera track chainset 165mm / 46t 1/8" chainring. Cranks are highly polished and the steel chainring has v shiny chrome. There's little wear to the teeth and the only complaint is the chrome there has begun to dull. Slight heel rub shows near the pedal holes. Lovely Campag copy and retro design. Threads and tapers are good. Chainring PCD- 130mm.

Selle Italia Flite saddle. The classic saddle and this one pretty rare due to the colour and the condition of the cover, which tends to show up more in this colour. Rails also still feel stiff when ridden on, and I feel that the saddles had quite an easy life. No tears to the cover, and the only things to mention are a slight indentation to the cover near the rear and a noticeable scuff near to the nose.
