Stuff I really like but realistically am not going to use in foreseeable future:
All prices are plus shipping in the 48.
Nitto Campee Front Rack with detachable lowriders - $120. I love this rack and ran it for several years and a few tours on my Rambler. That bike is dead and the replacement has custom racks so I no longer have a bike for this. * for what it's worth I bought this rack from Manny, so you KNOW it's bombproof.
Nitto Rear Rack - $110. Not sure of the model. It's similar to the 32R/33R but it's neither. Most closely resembles the Simworks On the Road Rack https://www.sim.works/products/on-the-road-carrier?variant=16532776835 but not exactly. Note the last hole on the dropout tang is cut off, there's a chance if you wanted to mount this on a tall 700c bike it wouldn't fit. Otherwise you should be fine. I'm not a rear rack guy so only used this a couple times.
Velo Orange Front and Rear Constructeur Racks - $50/each - Excellent condition.
Paul Racer Centerpull Brakes 2 pairs (one bike's worth) $150. These also came off the Rambler. Excellent brakes. I ran them with 650x42 tires with fenders. NOTE: These are NOT the ones with the center mount. You need posts designed for centerpulls or mod your bike or build a custom for these brakes.
Paul anodized Brake Adjuster nuts - 2 red, 2 blue, $30. I used these to bling the Centerpulls, but they will go on any Paul nutted brakes.
Check the flickr album here for pics and other goodies for sale (brake levers, derailleurs, Bridgestone saddle, B.O.B coin purse...)

Update: It looks like the rear Nitto Rack is the R-26. Like this: https://www.benscycle.com/nitto-r-26-rear-rack/rear_mount_rack_nitto__870-384-11/product
Still available, btw.

Mike, what happened to the Rambler? Such a nice looking bike.

John,
Re: Rambler, first the bottom bracket cracked. I rode it for over a year with an incrementally growing crack spreading up the seat tube. This is apparently an issue with the Zen Fabrication Ramblers - at least 4 of them including mine. There's a slot in the BB between the seat tube and down tube to allow for internal routing of the taillight wire, but it means those tubes are not welded in a full circle as they would be normally, and obviously a BB shell with a perpendicular slot cut in the top is going to be compromised. Rob from Ocean Air says fault of welders, but other manufactures of Ramblers refused to follow that design spec for fear of exactly what happened to mine and others. Bantam Ramblers are fine, as I assume are the Page Street Ramblers, but I'd steer clear of the ones made by Zen knowing what I know now.
And then I crashed it last August and buckled the top tube and down tube, so the slow death was hastened.

Bummer. So sorry to hear this!
How would a different design alternately route the wire to avoid this slot in the BB shell, I wonder?

My new Bantam has internal wiring for the taillight. You just run the wire through the BB shell and out a port in the chainstay. Use some care when you install/remove the BB cartridge but since there's no moving parts contacting the wiring it should be fine in there - plenty of room without cutting an unneeded slot.
