Re the last item, why would pursuit bars have holes for brake cables?

ITM Citta' Di Bassano stem
A stem from the same era as the above pursuit bars, and as they're a close matching gunmetal colour, I thought I should pair them together here. The stem is of a slightly lighter gunmetal shade than the bars. It has an ano finish with lazer etched graphics. Length is 90mm and clamp size is 26.0mm. The stem's in very nice condition with slight scuffs to the anodising here and there, plus two spots where it's rubbed off as seen in pics if you look hard. This is a rare stem and usually only seen with the itm pursuit bars with the same model name and colour. All threads are good.
£20Vision aero brake levers
Modern brake levers which would work with the above pursuit bars. Made by FSA. These are little used levers and the braking blades have no play in their stroke. They work without bungs and simply fasten onto the ends of the bars. All threads are good. Condition is excellent with no scuffs anywhere, although the Vision logos are starting to fade.
£10Specialites TA AXIX bottom bracket
This is the steel, not titanium, version of this bottom bracket, although it's titanium like finish might make you believe otherwise. It's axle is a short (TA's shortest?) asymmetrical 103mm in length, so suited to track cranks. Probably better used on more modern frames, seeing as I'd bought it to go on a vintage steel one and it's bb shell was too wide (I can provide measurements if required). For British threaded, 1.37 x 24, 68mm bb shells. It has a hollow cromoly axle and excellent seals to prevent water ingress. It's a noticeably light and quality bit of kit:) In near excellent condition with virtually no tooling marks to the alloy cups and lockring, and threads are good. The cartridge bearings are brand new ones I've just fitted.
£20Sugino (Messenger?) track chainring
This was originally matched with a Sugino crankset but I've removed it as I managed to damage one of the cranks. They were marked RD2 which makes them the Messenger model, and I assume the chainring would be Messenger also. The cranks had their paint buffed off, and the chainring too, which explains why the normal logos are missing. It's for 1/8" chains and has 42 teeth. Condition is pretty excellent with virtually no teeth wear as most of the machined surface is still there. It's for 130pcd cranks.
£7> £5Campagnolo track bolts
For rear wheel usage. Excellent condition with no chrome loss or tooling marks. Threads are good.
£7Single speed chainring bolt set
The bolts have a short threaded section, although not as short as some of this type of bolt. No chrome loss, tooling marks, and threads are good.
£4> £2Dia-Tech Dirty Harry finger pull brake lever
A right hand one of these levers. Works fine with no play in the braking blade stroke. All threads are good and there's no seized bits. The lever's in pretty much mint condition and I can't see a mark on it. The bar clamp is the 25.4mm size, so fits the centre bulge on most bars. But I might have a shim to bring the clamp down to 22.2mm, which means it could then fit elsewhere on the bars- ask if interested.
£10> £8Shroom/BLB front wheel track hub
For those not already aware, the Shroom brand is one of the BLB bike parts manufacturer's/shop's family of brands, so really this a BLB hub. At least, it is certainly a quality hub (found on BLB's track wheels) with nice finish and quality and traditional cup and cone bearings which look well made. The hub is pretty new looking and only shows slight spoke pressure markings around the flanges. Bearing cup and cones are excellent and grease doesn't need replacing or surfaces cleaning. The only criticism is that the track nuts are showing wear to their chroming. It's a 32 hole hub.
£15> £13Specialites TA track chainring
A vintage chainring from TA, so only for their 50.4 pcd cranks. Still has a lovely shine on it, largely thanks to the non ano coated/specially polished design that the company used (or still do?) to do. It's a 38t ring, and of course fits the 1/8"chains. Teeth are in excellent, hardly used condition, going by the fact that I can't see any wear to the machining on them.
£10Timec track pedals
Excellent quality track pedals from this pretty obscure Italian manufacturer who only made a few, but high quality, bike parts back in the 80's. They also have a classy look IMO. They've seen some usage in their time but cosmetically and mechanically they're still very nice. There's a couple of white alloy corrosion spots to the black painted parts plus the inevitable scuffs here and there, but that's about it. The bearings turn smoothly with no play, and seem to be well greased. Both dust caps are present. Fit standard English threaded cranks.
£25Shimano cog for use with a single speed converter kit. For those not in the know, these kits are for converting wheels designed for use with cassettes into just single speed function. You will obviously need the rest of the kit to use this cog! It's a 16t cog and is for 3/32" chains. Tooth wear is minimal with the chrome on them looking a bit dull but the teeth themselves are fine
£2ITM Mod. Europa pursuit/bullhorn bars
Pics to follow shortly.
A nice vintage 80's set of these bars in very nice condition. These are the older design for this type of bar, with the standard bullhorn shape without the bullhorns projecting from the bars after first being angled downwards from it's centre. The bullhorns have been cut down a fair bit. Fits 25.4mm stems.

Ah, I guess that you're indicating that the pursuit design of bar is for brakeless track bikes, so wouldn't be designed for brake lever fitment. So guess I ought to change to bullhorn, aero or whatever, and can only say that TBH I've never really looked too closely at all the different types, seeing as I've nearly always stuck with track bends on my single speed bikes, but this fg/ss focused site is certainly one's where I'm sure that these distinctions would matter to most of the forumers, so I guess I should look to paying a bit more attention to these details in the future:)

Still have the Nitto bars, but had someone who seemed eager to buy them yesterday but haven't heard anything back all through today so if there's still nothing come tomorrow then I can pass to the next person. I assume you'd like second dibs on them?

Nah, even then you could buy bars with brake fittings. I used Mavic, for example. Didn’t Cinelli LA84’s have brake outer routing too?

PRICE DROPS UPDATE: EVERYTHING REMAINING REDUCED BY £2
Got these going spare.
Prices don't include postage. This will be £3.10 for the larger parts (except bars, which is TBC), and £1.50 for any of the cogs or chainring. But happy for anyone to collect from Hendon, NW4.
See thread replies for what's been sold. Forum donation to be made if I sell most of what's here.
I'll also be adding some final bits tomorrow.
Nitto B123 track bars with Charge track grips
These are Nitto's cromoly steel track bars. NJS stamped. 40cm width. 25.6mm clamp area.
Excellent condition bars with hardly a mark on them. Nothing has been bent and there's no dents. The grips are almost new and the textured 'tread' is all there.
£30
Izumi Super Toughness track chain
NJS approved chain. 1/8" chain with 94 links plus an offcut with 11 links. I've tested the chain with my chain wear gauge and it's fine. It's been extended and an offcut from the gold ano version of the chain has been added. There's also an offcut of another silver Super Toughness in case more links are needed.
£15> £13
KMC HX track chain
1/8" chain with 93 links remaining, plus an unused split link (not showing in the pics).
I've tested the chain with my chain wear gauge and it's fine.
£5> £3
YBN S2 track chain
1/8" chain with 100 links remaining.
I've tested the chain with my chain wear gauge and it's fine. The chain is pretty dirty but if it sells ill give it a clean with some degreaser before it's taken/posted.
£5> £3
Shimano Dura Ace single speed cog with DA lockring
For 3/32" chains. 16 tooth cog. This is in very nice condition with virtually no wear to the teeth, although there's some corrosion to the ano finish on them and the rest of the cog. The lockring is the NJS version and ano finish is fine on it. All threads are good and lockring notches aren't damaged.
£15> £13
X3 vintage cogs
Cog on the left in pic is unbranded and includes a lockring. 15 teeth. The chrome plate is starting to show wear but the teeth are good and lockring notches are undamaged. Cog in the centre is by TDC and is an old 50s/60s one. 17 teeth. The teeth are pretty polished but still good. Cog on the right is unbranded and looks about the same age as the centre cog. 16 teeth. This looks virtually new and none of the ano finish is gone, although I'm sure it's been used. This one includes a matching lockring and it's notch is good. Threads are good on all the above items. The TDC cog is for 1/8" chains; the other two for 3/32" ones.
£5> £3 for cogs which have lockrings included; £4> £2 for the one without one.
TWF fixed cog spacer
This would look to be a spacer for use with older cogs like those above. These cogs often (two in my case) had a shallower threaded area (perhaps to allow chainline fine tuning?) than today's cogs have, so a spacer like this one would have been used to push the cog (and support it behind) forward so it could overshoot the lip of the hub's threaded section for the cog, and therefore allow it to make contact with the lockring that fixes it in position. At least, that's what I think:) An interesting little vintage item, whatever the case. Condition is OK, although quite a lot of the chrome is worn or gone and the supporting flange shows wear from removal from a hub. Threads are good.
£7> £5
3ttt Moscow pursuit bars
A pretty rare set of vintage persuit bars. 42 cm width, and the clamp section is 25.8mm.They're finished in a smart gunmetal/bronze ano finish. Condition is very good- the centre bulge is pretty unmarked besides a few zigzag stem fitting marks just to the left of the centre where the stem head would be. Plus there's occasional nicks to the finish elsewhere on the bars. The bullhorn handholds have been cut down and project about 15cm outwards. They're angled downwards in the pursuit bar style. The bars are designed for concealed cable setups.
