Vintage Parts: Campagnolo | Ambrosio | Compass | MAFAC

• #1

Just took apart my restored '60s Harry Quinn. So along with that frame, I've some nice (mainly) vintage parts leftover to sell...

Campagnolo Triomphe

Super condition. Thought this was a 70s/80s Gran Sport but think it is actually Triomphe. The curves of cups look to have the slightly different shape that the Triomphe ones had, plus no engraving on the sides where cups press in to headtube. Chrome excellent. Maybe the smallest of marks on lock nut. Think I got this NOS originally, so lucky if it's seen 200 miles.

Withdrawn. Keeping.

Campagnolo Nuovo Gran Sport Bottom Bracket

Nuovo GS model (I think) for double chainrings.
British Threaded
Axle - 115mm (nondrive - 29mm-54mm-32mm - driveside)

I've found this works as a good match for Campagnolo Strada doubles (1049/Nuovo/Record/Super Record etc). I was using with the early 151BCD 1049 Strada cranks. Gave a very good chainline. Think this axle is slightly wider than the earlier Campag BBs and the various later Record and NR ones. I've found this can actually be useful on old cranks where the crank's tapers have 'widened' from fitting and refitting over their lifespans. Condition is great. Cup and axle surfaces look pretty flawless. Again, think I got NOS and likely seen couple hundred miles at most. Only point of note is there is a small chip to surface of adjustable cup on the outside near edge of cup. Looks near to one of the pin inserts but does not effect it, pin spanner slots in solidly.

Compass Gran Bois Maes Handlebars

So these are not vintage, but I reckon, one of the nicest modern 'vintage' bars. Made by Nitto, so super quality. No engraving or anything on clamp area, so once fitted, nobody knows your period incorrect... with added bonus they're unlikely to snap like '50s oxidised alloy! Decent condition. Marks along bends of bars from taking off stubborn stem, but clamp area fine once stem on a bars taped. 25.4mm clamp. 42cm width.

Ambrosio Champion Stem - 1950s/60s

Alloy nice and bright but a fair number of marks. Also incorrect steerer bolt (aesthetically wrong, but maybe not a bad thing as I've had one fail me on another early Ambrosio stem!) Does have a nice, correct pinch bolt, although bolt's lost it's chrome. Ambrosio engraving on top a bit faint, good engraving on sides though. 25.4mm clamp.

MAFAC Guidonnet Levers (includes ferrules for brake cables)

Excellent condition. Start building your Rene Herse from the levers up! Can include couple of all important stepped ferrules to fit cables. These fit into the brakes then a normal ferrule sits on cable and inside the stepped one. Works really well and looks neat and tidy.
