Yard Sale Loot


Here are a few photos of stuff we'll be selling at the VO yard sale this Saturday.


We'll have some VO frames that are scratched or are prototypes. There are also a few classic frames, including a Mercian Superlight, two Motobecanes, a Jack Taylor Tandem, a Bottechia Pro that are owned by staff members or were used for reference.


There are a bunch of fenders and a few tires. Many wheels too.


 TA and VO chainrings, saddles, CLB brake levers, cranks, handlebars, racks, decaleurs, prototype gloves...


Kate, our company barista, will be pulling shots.

Finally, we put a few more things on the specials page.

    Do you have some more information on the sizing and model of the Jack Taylor Tandem? MD isn't THAT far away.

    So, my sister (all 5'2" of her) is looking at your Polyvalent mini-kits. Will the smallest size you're showing, 51cm, be a reasonable fit? I'm thinking it's a bit of a stretch. Would the Mixte in 51cm be better?

    What's that turquoise bike at top 2nd from the left? Are you not shipping any items? I could use some Hetres...

    Apis, Please read the sizing post from a few weeks ago. You'll need more than just height to determine frame size. Send an e-mail to info@velo-... if you need more help.

    Wow. I wish I lived in Annapolis. That looks like my kind of yard sale.

    Can I get a ballpark range for the price and condition of the saddles? I want to know because I won't be able to make it and would like to request someone pick it up.

    That was a great garage sale! I'm happy as can be. That 2CV certainly was a big hit with the crowd. Nice to hear one again, it's been over 40 years. Thanks!

    In the picture of the tires (Yard+Sale+fenders.jpg), what are the brown tires with the tan sidewalls in the background?

    Helpless Romantic asks, "In the picture of the tires (Yard+Sale+fenders.jpg), what are the brown tires with the tan sidewalls in the background?"

    I think you're referring to the Grand Bois Hetre 650Bx42 tires I bought at the garage sale. The tread is red in real life.
