For sale/wanted to buy
So I know many of you have excess junk and I am sure many of us would like to purchase said junk so I figured I would provide a place for it as well as ask about to see if anyone has some of the stuff I am looking for; I would much rather buy off of here then send money to a stranger on e-bay/
I am currently in the market for the following:
For a good cause:
-Vintage 3spd/drum brake hub.
-Drum brake generator hub.
-Any old SA 3spd shifters, if I do end up with an new hub I still want it to look old.
-Non-peaked steel fenders to fit 28's
-Chain guard in good condition.
-Any rod brake parts.
-Tall/short stem.
-Ratty looking spring saddle.
For me to 'ruin' by making a new British tall bike:
-Step through frame, can have mangled stays but front must be OK.
-Standard frame, must be in good over all condition.
-Fork, any steer tube length will work.
-Peaked fenders, decent but not destroyed.
-Chain guards, any condition.
-Shifter parts for 3spd.
-Ratty spring saddle.
-Any neat old parts that would make for a cool bike but are not quite nice enough for regular service.

Kevin really does have everything! I bet he has those other parts but he just can't remember where he put them!

I'm looking for a Raleigh or other british 3 speed in a 22 or 23 inch men's frame. A fixer-upper would be fine...but then, so would a gem. If you've got an extra, please let me know. Could potentially arrange a trade for a diamond-frame Schwinn 3 speed.

Check out Uptown Bikes on Broadway between Wilson and Lawrence. They have a couple of dandy 3speeds: Gent's Triumph and Lady's Rudge. Both appear to be in the 19-20 inch ranges. I can't be more precise as they are hanging from the ceiling. If you are interested, do act quickly. Nora & Co usually stop selling used bikes at the end of this month!
And several weeks back, Sir John and I discovered a Raleigh-built Gent's BSA at Play It Again Sports on Ashland just north of Ten Cat! -

Hello BBCer's. I am selling a very nice, sky-blue 1974 Raleigh Sports on Craigslist, and I know that nice examples of these are getting harder to find, so I am posting here in case anyone is interested. All original and complete excepting necessary replacement tires, but I do have the original Dunlops. Have a look:
