Paris Roubaix - A Sunday in Hell

Paris-Roubaix is this weekend. Known as the Hell of the North because of the pavé(cobblestones) it is one of the highest regarded Classics. I highly recommend the 1976 film "A Sunday in Hell."

Website update coming soon- Really.

I am moving a lot of stuff around and have been uncovering some cool items that I will post on he blog for sale. I am also working on a new incarnation of the website that I hope to have published soon. I am trying to make it simple, yet have more of the items we have here for sale. I am thinking of having some lists of items, rather than photographing everything, as that was always the hold up. Also making it easier to update and amend. I have been thinking about Wordpress or something along those lines, after once again playing with Dreamweaver. I should just get it out there, rather than trying to make it too awesome and bloated and a bitch to deal with. Right now, it is a bitch to deal with.

sold- Legnano Stamped Campagnolo hubs wheels

a nice pair of Campagnolo Record Hubs stamped Legnano for their bikes. Nice original green label Fiamme tubular rims. These would be perfect for a Legnano restoration from the late 1950s-early 1960s. wheels are straight and bearings feel excellent, but of course could use an overhaul with new grease. Regina 5 speed freewheel. tires would need to be replaced.
