So, I bought 2 skids of bike parts....

Hi all,
First off, this isn't here to make me all sorts of cash. It's here to help out someone restoring an old bike, or make their bike run using parts that you just can't fine anywhere else. I've been getting into restoring steel road bikes from the 80s. I used to restore pre-war balloon tire bikes, but they just weren't as much fun to ride.

I recently bought out a bike shop out of Missouri. I got a couple of skids of NOS bike parts. These are parts from late 70s through early 90s. If you need a vintage freewheel or a special derailleur for that steel bike let me know. There are tons of nuts and bolts, odd tubes, about a 2 foot stack of chain-rings, how about some hot pink Benotto tape, piles of brakes, cleats for old pedals, even a pair of Vittoria Italian Handmade road shoes (size 46). WAY too much to possibly list. Most will get sorted through and shelved. Lots of it will be e-bayed. Giving you folks here the first shot.

I have to admit, going through the boxes was like Christmas! So, if there is anything special you are looking for, send me a PM of post here and I'll let you know if I have anything for ya.

One thing I am looking for is a Campagnolo rim - 36 hole Lambda Strada Clincher 700c. I only got one in the deal and want to build a pair for a 1983 Trek 760. I love the old steel bikes!!

I'd be interested in any old Suntour Superbe/Superbe Pro/Sprint pieces, should you come across any.

What parts are you looking for? I have a set of hubs and a set of brakes. Both are slightly used, but near mint. I have brake shoes that are NOS.

Interested in any pieces of mid-late 80s vintage.

I don't have any requests, but I wanted to say congratulations on your SCORE! I ride an '86 Trek élance. I love it. If I think of anything I need, I'll be in touch.

Nope,
Shimano 105 SC front derail. NIB for braze on though. Funny that it doesn't say anything on the outside of the derailleur.

Might there be any Shimano Golden Arrow parts? This is the first gen 105 stuff, probably 84-86. There's an embossed gold arrow on all the pieces.

LOL< No such luck. That would really be a nugget. I do have a pair of Cyclone hubs. Front hub and both skewers are NIB (with the box). The rear was built into a wheel but shows no sign that it was ridden. Rear hub has a few storage scratches though. BTW... not white. sorry.
