Here's a nice little pile. Ships from Ashland, OR. Prices include shipping to the CONUS to exclude confusion. I will choose the cheapest shipping option, we can upgrade you to priority if you're in a rush! :)

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 shippedBoth 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,
Isaak

Nearly new gold Paul comp 100/135 skewers in my parts bin...could they, should they fund another build? :/ I'm so unfussy about skewers and just use old dura ace/xtrs which can be had on the cheap...
