Things For Sale

    This has been a project I have put off for over a year and I am finally getting started.  I have a collection of very usable components dating from the days of 5 speed friction shifting up to 9-Speed integrated brake/shifting.  I have photographed each item and am trying to describe clearly the function of each component as well as its condition.  I have done some research on the internets as to the vintage of some of these components as well as the model and pricing.  

   Regarding the listed prices, I have valued these components at what I feel is fair for the condition of the components and work I have into them disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling with new lubrication for prolonged functionality that may exceed their original performance.  I do not suggest that these components can not be found cheaper elsewhere although I think most of these components you will either not find available anywhere else or at least not for a lower price.  Other components may be listed here for a little more than what you may find elsewhere.  I really don't care either way.  I am not into price matching or bargaining or dickering or even trading.  If I don't sell something listed here, it will merely be packed carefully back into a box the next time I relocate and eventually find its way onto a bicycle I work on. 

   Should you desire to purchase anything you see listed here not in person, I will accept Paypal and an additional $20 for packaging and USPS Priority shipping.  It may take me up to two weeks to get a purchased item/s in the mail.  Still interested?  Send me an email.  

   Where did all this come from?  I have worked in bicycle shops as a mechanic for over 12 years.  Sometimes a customer upgrades and doesn't want their old components back.  One woman had a collision on her TREK 5200 WSD and wanted nothing to do with the entire bike afterwards, preferring to replace the bike and leave the old one at the shop.  Sometimes I have traded parts with other friends in the industry or purchased used parts from friends/garage sales over the years.  Other components I used myself and eventually upgraded from.  Some of the older parts I literally salvaged out of an old barn in Maine when a friend's wife was pregnant with their second child, his years of tinkering with bicycles fading into the past. 

   Liability wise, I am selling all these components as used.  Although I do have a trained eye from my years of professional experience and I have inspected each component I have listed here, I can not guarantee that anything I am selling will not fail with regular use.  When you purchase used equipment you are accepting this inherent risk that there may be damage to what you are purchasing that can not be detected by visual inspection.  The only encouragement I can offer is that I won't sell something I would not use myself on a bicycle.
   Installation/adjustments are available for an additional fee.  I will charge you half the hourly rate at the fine bike shop establishments around town and offer the same level of professional know-how with a more personal experience.  If you are interested in such services, let me know and we can discuss.

Campagnolo Record Front Derailleur,$20

 Here is a Campagnolo front derailleur for your restoration project.  The clamp diameter is 28.6mm. According to VeloBase this appears to be a "Record 1052/NT (1978 - 1982, 3-hole narrow band)".  The best application today would be a 2-chainring steel frame bicycle with bar end, down tube, or flat bar friction shifters.  I was able to find one of these on the popular internet auction site for $59.  I'd like to send this one to a new home for $24

Suntour Vx Front Derailleur, $12

 This here is an old SunTour Vx front derailleur with a 28.6mm clamp diameter.  All original hardware.  You can see there is some chain scuffing on the inside of the inner cage plate.  It has a cable housing stop below the anchor bolt/actuating arm intended for a piece of housing to come up from the down tube and end at this stop.  It is a normal actuation meaning that increased cable tension moves the derailleur cage from the inner to the outer position.
   For those still riding a bicycle outfitted with Suntour components this could be a good replacement option rather than forgoing front shifting altogether or updating to current componentry.  You can have it for $12

Suntour Vx Rear Derailleur, $20

 This is the SunTour Vx rear derailleur that came off of the same bike as the front derailleur above.  It has a long cage to allow for a wide gear range.  This piece has been disassembled, cleaned and re-lubricated making the pivots feel super smooth.  It has also cleaned up really well and is a good looking piece that unfortunately didn't come through in the photograph here.    Use this on a friction shifter outfitted bike or Suntour indexed shifting.  Buy it for $20

Early-80's Raleigh branded brake set, $20

 This is a set of brakes manufactured under contract for the Raleigh bicycle company sometime in the early 1980's.  Be it from Dia Tech, or Weinmann or some other brake manufacturer from the time, I can not be sure.  They were on a Raleigh Marathon frame.  They are single pivot, have a reach of approximately 48-58mm, internal nuts.  There is some surface rust on some of the hardware (original brake shoe nuts, pivot adjustment nut, quick release lever) that does not effect the functionality or safety of the brake.  Buy these for $20 for the set.  I WILL NOT BREAK UP THE SET. 

BR-6500 Brake set, $35

   This is one of two sets of Shimano Ultegra Br-6500 brake calipers for sale here.  These are quality, dual pivot brakes introduced around 2002.  A website concerned with how much or little things weigh lists this brake-set at 335 grams.  I have carefully cleaned and lubricated this brake set.  I WILL NOT BREAK UP THE SET.  Buy this set here for $35

The recessed nuts and knurled washers do not appear in these photos but I will supply them with the brake calipers.  Original metal brake pad shells will accept a wide variety of Shimano and other brand road brake shoe inserts. 

SR SP-155 Pedals, Toe Clips, Straps, $20

   Here's a set of older touring style, one-sided wide platform pedals with original toe clips and leather straps.  The brand is SR, model SP-155.  In "good enough" shape.  Leather straps look as if they were never used and have never seen a rainy day. 
   I may open them, fine-tune the bearing adjustment and add new grease and an additional $10 to the price if nobody wants them in "good enough" shape for the low cost of $20

SR SP-155 Pedals, Toe Clips, Straps, $20

 Shimano Deore M591 Rear derailleur

, $30

   The Shimano Deore RD-M591 rear derailleur is still often the derailleur of choice to equip your road bike with a wider gear range for steep climbing.  It is a 9-speed generation rear derailleur from the entry level Mountain group that uses the same cable actuation as 9 and 10 speed Shimano road shifters as well as 9 speed mountain shifters.   This one is a GS or SGS model with a long cage that will allow for a very low gear.  Interested in purchasing this to get lower gearing?  Ask me how!    This rear derailleur has never been used or installed previously.  Yours for $30.

Sram Rival Front Derailleur, $25

    Next up is this SRAM RIVAL 10 speed front derailleur with a 32mm clamp diameter.  It will work with either SRAM or SHIMANO front shifters.  Not intended for a triple chainring crankset.
This is a used item but showing very little wear.  Buy it for $25

SHIMANO Ultegra FD-6500 Front Derailleur, $25

    And now a SHIMANO Ultegra FD-6500  front derailleur with a 31.8mm clamp.  This is a 9-speed double crankset compatible front derailleur.  In good shape!  Yours for $25

SHIMANO BR-6500 Brakeset, $40

   Here's the SECOND set of SHIMANO BR-6500 brakes, introduced in 2002, dual pivot, with metal brake shells that will take a plethora of Shimano and other brand brake shoe inserts.  These are in more pristine condition and thus the slightly higher price.  Buy the set for $40

SHIMANO BR-6500 brake set FRONT,

SHIMANO BR-6500 Brakeset, REAR

SHIMANO FD-M700 Front Derailleur, $25

   From the origins of SHIMANO's mountain group is this classic "Deer Head"  FD-M700 front derailleur.  31.8mm clamp diameter.  This is a bottom pull/top swing front derailleur, like a road front derailleur.
   This piece has a unique design in that it has a built in housing stop with the intention a piece of housing would come from underneath and stop below the anchor bolt.  It is not a reverse action front derailleur as some older front derailleurs are.  Increased cable tension moves the derailleur cage from inner to outer ring positions.
   As the sticker indicates this piece is "For Alpine Gearing" which means 48t or smaller large chain ring.  Buy this piece of history for $25



   That's all I have to show until I take some more pictures.  Stay tuned for NITTO stem, cranksets, hubs and hub sets, chainrings, etc.
