Pictures here.
1. Berthoud Vars Saddle - $200 shipped in a real live box. I --believe-- that this is the correct model name. Maybe also called the Mente? The heavier Aubiesque has similar dimensions and weights more with stainless steel rails, pre-order is already sold out at Rene Herse! Approximate dimensions- 180mm wide by 280mm length Condition- leather is nice and firm with only slight flex. I have not personally conditioned this since it entered my possession a few weeks ago- depending on what you choose to do it will ease some of the light discoloration you see in the photo. This is as close as I've ever gotten to loving a leather saddle....back to plastic for this guy :(
2. Nitto R14 Rack (no-tombstone) - $110 shipped. Pictures should say it all. The rack boss struts appear to have been slightly threaded by bolt installation...which should mean precisely nothing in practice, except that I felt compelled to say it.
3. Rene Herse/Compass 700 x 44 Snoqualmie Pass Tires $90 shipped. Both tires were ridden tubed, bead seated perfectly, with very little visible wear.
4. Cork Grips. Miesha's? Someone elses? $35 shipped. No hole for bar end shifters.
My eBay store is looking mighty thin these days but expect 25-35% off if you want anything in there. There's a 105mm phil...deerhead thumbies...suntour command shifters...schwinn p-13 frameset.
Love,
