Here's a little selection of some of the parts I seem to have accumulated.
Make me an offer for anything, or ask about anything else you might be looking for in this vein. Free to a good home.
I'd like £20 for the partial GB brake set. The levers are late 50s GB Arret. They have the original brass ferrules that fit into the tops to keep the cable outer in place. Shown are the rather scruffy half-hoods - they once were white!. Might be worth trying to clean up. One lever has no alloy GB badge. The brake on the right is the matching GB Sport Mk3, complete apart from blocks (which were manky old ones for steel rims. I used some nice grey Kool Stops which were loads better. Who cares about 'correct'? I just want to stop!). I snapped an arm off the other caliper, in a fit of stupidity ... not easy to do I might add, I just misjudged in an incident with a pipe wrench. So I haven't shown it but if anyone wants it for parts ... free. In fact, I may be able to obtain a replacement GB Sport Mk3 caliper if someone's desperate for it, ask. I have a feeling I know where one is.... They're really nice brakes and exert a very good braking for such old calipers.
The other brake is a cheapo weinmann 500. Free, I have the other one. The old plastic cloth-effect tape and rather nice 'Gem' rubber bar end plugs will go to the buyer of the bars, if wanted. The seat stem and clamp go to the frame buyer unless not wanted.
Those Pedals have the short threaded spindle, which are for steel cranks but work OK in alloy too, Lyotard (can't remember the model name but hilary posted a pair in better nick the other day). I actually have two pairs of these, free to a good home.
