Whilst shopping for a replacement frame, I bought a whole bike, so I have a bit of a parts surplus. I already had a surplus, but anyway...
Here are some of the nicest bits. All are in Brighton where i live, but I'm in London 2-3 days a week and can meet or deliver anywhere vaguely central.
**Shimano 600 ax Brakes and Levers- £40 **SOLD
The same as the Dura-Ace ax equivalent in all but finish. From the early 80s and as used by Lance Armstrong on his tt bikes right up to the early 00s.
The calipers are in good condition with only minor marks, the levers work well, they're a bit scratched but aren't as bad as they look in the photo- the dark mark is dirt, not a crack. No hoods.
The pads are quite worn, but you can use modern pads and they'll perform better than the originals. Helpful link here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=91017
also possibly of interest, I spotted these NOS levers with hoods earlier today: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shimano-600AX-aero-brake-levers-1982-NOS-/310276026455?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item483de47057
Shimano 600 Arabesque Downtube Levers with band. Used but good condition, can be detached from the band and used on ordinary frame bosses.** £SOLD**
Campagnolo Super Record Downtube Shifters. Used but good, working perfectly, with all parts present and correct. £15
