Got some nice Token track pedals with clips and straps if of interest?

I have a good lot of Campag Athena kit and most would be from the early/mid 90s although some could be 80s from when the Athena writing didn't show on the parts yet. I could just possibly find stuff that all matches from the 90s kit I have. But the Croce d'Aune/Chorus/Athena kit above sounds like a bargain, so possibly this would be your best bet?

PM sent.

I have an old 70s one if you're still looking? Can send a few pics.

Sure, on it's way.

I have one if by chance you're still looking after all this time? Paintwork's a bit tatty though.

That's fine, thanks for your patience. By a stroke of luck I haven't had to do much extra searching before coming across a second triple FD. And a bonus is that it's one that matches both the rear derailleurs I have, both with the model and era. Strangely though, despite it having been matched with one of the RDs when fitted on a bike I have, one of the derailleurs is marked 9 speed, whilst the other has 10 speed written on it:) And it all appears to be the original kit on the bike. But I believe the FD would work fine with either 9 or 10 speed setups. Anyway, another bonus is that, after now being able to lay my hands on both derailleurs, I've discovered that one of them is long cage and the other medium (from memory I was pretty sure both were medium, as I mentioned to you previously), so you have a handy option of being able to choose which one best suits your bike/gear ratios. Another thing is that the FD was fitted to a steel frame, so the band size is the standard 28.6mm diameter for this tubing. I checked about your TOEI campeur bike and discovered that it's a vintage steel framed bike, so obvs will have the right kind of tubing to fit the band size. I must admit then when I saw your ad requesting 9/10 speed kit I'd expected the bike it was to go on to be a more modern one, not vintage, likely requiring the bigger band sizes or for a braze on FD, but of course it's a common thing (and quite necessary for when the bike will be ridden over serious distances) that riders replace the original vintage kit with modern stuff, including changing the wheels to match. Also interesting to hear what you say regarding the usage of double FDs with chainsets fitted with specific ring sizes. I'd heard of some Campag FDs that outwardly look like standard triple designs, (but in fact are designed to help the shifting on double chainsets where there's a large difference between the sizes of the two rings fitted) but never the other way around, where a standard double can cope with three rings:) It's all interesting.
Anyway, see below for some pics of the three derailleurs. BTW the pic of the long cage RD shows it's cable barrel adjuster broken, but I have a spare one I'll include if you decide to buy. And of course I'll work out prices for you if you're interested in anything.

Glad to help if I can. But ATM it's bad news re getting a FD to match the two rears I have. As mentioned, I have two Veloce rears, but the front I've managed to find is Athena, plus it's 80s era, whilst the two rears are 90s/00s. But I should mention that I'm just in the process of reorganizing my store of bike kit following a recent house move, so everything's in dissaray and I can't immediately check for other Veloce FDs. I'm certain I have other triple Campag FDs, but not sure if they'd be Veloce and also the correct eras. Might take me a week or two to have a good search for you, and I guess by then you may decide to buy the bits separately from different sellers rather than waiting on me, but let me know if I should bother looking.

Can't help with the cranks but I have I have a WTB Speed She saddle in black with blue edges, can send some pics if of interest.

I have 9 and 10 speed Campag Veloce rear derailleurs, both medium cage I think. Also have Campag triple front derailleurs, although can't recall if they're Veloce too. But likely you're already sorted by now?

Righto, that's understandable, and as I say, possibly the 135mm hubs/wheels will be more common with the other forumers, so better chance they'd have at least one better priced/more ordinary wheel amongst them.

I have one although I don't know how attractive it would be to you considering your budget, seeing as the wheel has a Shimano XT hub with matching quality rim, so would obviously put up the price a bit more than an average quality wheel. I'm actually only offering it because of it's sticking out in my mind due to it being the only spare one I have that has the quite unusual (for touring, I think) 135mm hub, seeing as all my other have the more typical 130mm spacing. Although I guess, with my kit being generally vintage, other forumers may well have more wheels with 135mm hubs to offer you, if possibly it's a size popular on touring bikes these days?

Final price drop: now £170. Bike will be listed for sale on another site if there's no further interest in it here.

Got a nice Stronglight 49t ring if you're still looking?

Weekend drop- now £180.

Righto, that's understandable, hope you find something and at a good price.

I have a pair of XT M750 (also used in the XTR groupset of the time) spuds, although they're not nearly as modern as those offered above. See my sales thread if you're interested (search for XT/XTR pedals): https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/395390/

I've also got one I can offer you, unless maybe you've already sealed a deal with the above chap?

Another price drop- now £190.

I have some 90s NOS ones, unless you're already sorted now?

I have a Viking branded set. They have the high flange hubs and also deep section rims, and I've a few different cogs i can include. The rims are white in colour though so possibly not your thing, but let me know if of interest. Will be pretty cheap.

Sure, well that might be so. Even though this forumer has blocked my messages (and can't read this) his attitude causes damage to my good reputation on the site, so now I feel it fair to comment on this as obviously other forumers will have viewed this. I have to say that my only interaction with this person seems to have been from a few years ago when I decided to decline selling a set of bar end shifters to him due to the fact that he'd asked for a discount on the price in the form of my paying for posting them to him and covering this cost myself (can be viewed in his history of comments on the site). I politely declined, and it apparently seem that this was taken as some kind of snub and now this blocking and above 'you're blocked' happens. Of course this seems like a retaliatory and 'getting my own back' attitude in view of the fact that he could simply have personally messaged me to advise of his unwillingness to do any business with me, but he didn't and it's pretty obvious that his above message showing the forum could damage my reputation. He could hardly be unaware of this (as it's pretty much common sense, and even a child could see you don't call into question someone's reputation publically) and I can only comment that it seems pretty childish, but I've now left my public comment so there we are.

Got some older 105 calipers which are the long reach version from when 105 was 8 speed. Obviously still dual pivots despite the age. Can send pics and advise of exact drop if of interest?

Got the below old steel ones if you're still looking for something. Not entirely sure they're MTB but they look similar to several riser bars on these bikes with the rise and swayback.

I'm not attracting too much interest for the bike so I've decided to include a few extras with the sale. These are a one-piece Octopus double pannier bag set, a Bushwhacker saddle bag, a Freedom Design bar bag, two sets of alloy water bottle cages and a bar bag support bracket. The panniers are a pretty standard nylon design that I've found can carry a good sized lot of stuff which was also quite weighty (although obviously the bags can only take so much weight), the saddle bag is also of quite a size and is also insulated to keep food/drinks cool to keep them fresh during long hours in the saddle (it is also well made and can take quite a heavy load but for this I'd advise using the bag support bracket above), the saddle bag is a standard road bike one but is well made. See pics added to the opening post. Also- I've added a complete set of new pics to hopefully showing the bike's colour more accurately.
