Saddles
Huracan Gold Race
1980s racing saddle, made in Spain by GES. Padded brown leather top over a plastic base with chrome rails. Kind of a cross between a Concor and a Turbo. I'm no expert, but it feels pretty light to me. In good condition. The leather is worn on the nose and at the corners, and there's a slight cut on one corner, but it's still perfectly useable. I found it comfortable.
Was £15 Now £13
Padded leather San Marco
1970s racing saddle, made in Italy. Padded leather top over a plastic base with steel rails. A Unicanitor copy, basically. Scuffs at the corners and lightly worn at the nose, but generally in good condition. Pretty comfortable.
£10
Seatposts
Unbranded (maybe Push?) 27.2
260mm limit to rails. Light scratches but only about 180mm down.
£5
Sprint/Kalloy straight 26.4
Unused. Roughly 230mm limit to rails. For use with old style clamp (which I've plenty of, if you need one).
£6
Tyres
Continental Gatorskin 700x23 / 23-622
Super tough. Well-used, with lots of cuts and little holes, and showing a fair bit of wear, but still serviceable.
SOLD
Specialized Touring-Z K4 700x32 / 28-622 (I know that doesn't make sense, but that's what's marked)
Very nice old-style touring tyres. Discreet branding. Made in Japan. Very lightly used.
SOLD
Kenda 27 x 1 1/4 / 32-630
Tanwalls with a reflective strip. Very lightly used.
Was £10, now £8 the pair
DSI "Ultra" 27 x 1 1/4 / 32-630
White wall. Lightly used.
Free
Knobbly 700x32
Used and have been sitting outside for ages, but they'd be fine on a beater.
SOLD
Wheels
Maillard x Weinmann 700c ETRTO 622x16
Came off an old Raleigh. French-made Maillard hubs dated 1986 (rear) and 1987 (front) laced to Belgian-made 36h Weinmann eyeletted alloy rims. Maillard/Spidel QRs. Maillard 5-speed 14-28t freewheel, made in France. Galvanised spokes on the front; stainless on the rear.
In very good condition. They seem true and the bearings feel OK, though they could benefit from being repacked. The rims have some light scratches and scuffs, and some brake wear, but not a huge amount. The freewheel looks to be lightly used. The QRs are rusted.
SOLD
Other stuff
Stainless steel mudguards
In reasonable condition. Some knocks and scratches, but they look rather smart when fitted. They came off a bike with 27" wheels but I used them with 700x32 tyres and they looked fine. I am going to keep the fitting screws.
SOLD
Maillard front hub 36h
Alloy, dated 1985. Cosmetically good condition, but has a grindy spot. Serviced, polished and useable though.
Was £3, ** now FREE**
