Let's start with a pair of wheels
Araya CV-7, 36h, laced to Deore LX hubs with nice amberwall tyres.
These are a bit grotty, but they will clean up well, and they're c h e a p.
Really good for a retro build on a budget.
£29 posted for both. I can probably find a matching front skewer.
Deore DX platform pedals
Again, dirty but will clean up OK. Smooth enough, but of course not being toy pedals they're completely rebuildable.
£7 posted.
One pair (a bikesworth) of braked hubs. These are Sachs/SRAM torpedoes. The rear is 3 speed.
Tough? These would survive nuclear winter, mate. They're tougher than Sturmey-Archer's braked hubs.
£40/pair posted. You can have a bargain deal with these and a pair of rims - NOS 1960s 26 x 1 3/8" steel rims and brand new tyres for an extra £17, or a pair of brand new Rigida alloy eyeletted MTB rims for an extra £14.
More to come tomorrow.
