[RBW] FS - Waterford AHH 59cm

[Dan Bracey]

Full image gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/axZDK

I'm going to regret this, but for sale is a Waterford built 2006 A. Homer 
Hilsen that I have owned it since 2010. When I bought the bike, I thought 
I'd own it for the rest of my life, but it turns out that it just doesn't 
fit the type of riding I'm doing as well as I thought it would. It is one 
of the more beautiful frames I've ever put my eyes on and when I purchased 
it I painstakingly cleaned the frame and carefully touched up all the chips 
with matching enamel paint (first sign that I'm not a true "Riv guy"). 

The paint is darker blue than the current Homer and anyone that is paying 
attention knows that the AHH has gone through a lot of hues of blue over 
the years. I was also missing the brifter index shifting from my sportier 
road bike, so Homer's bar end shifters got swapped for a full Shimano 
Ultegra 6500 triple groupset (second sign that I'm not a true Riv believer) 
which I believe to be the last classically beautiful group that Shimano 
produced. I don't need to go into how great these frames are and how well 
they handle, or how beautiful they are, but I will say that the size 59 
frame was on the verge of being too big for my 5'11" frame, but it was 
still comfortable for a couple of 100 mile plus rides that I did on it. The 
larger than normal sizing and the low seat post was one Grantism that I do 
believe in for this bike which made it extremely comfortable for long rides.

Further details on the build are a full Nitto cockpit & seatpost including 
46cm Noodle handlebars wrapped with brooks honey leather tape that could 
use some moisturizing but still has plenty of life. A set of classic 
Rivendell wheels: Rich-built, Phil-hubbed (NLA), Synergy Velocity rimmed, 
36 spoke wheels with a Shimano 12/27 9 speed cassette. Jagwire silver 
cables throughout and Tektro R556 Sidepull brakes. 

The bike recently had a service from the top notch local shop including a 
replacement of the shift cables.

Seeing as the groupset is not very "rivish", I'm happy to sell the bike 
minus the groupset, but I would prefer to sell complete. I will probably 
shed a few tears as I tape up the box on this one, but this is a bike that 
deserves to be ridden hard and often and I'm not doing that. 

Complete $2700 
Less Shimano groupset, but including everything else, wheels, cockpit, etc. 
$2300

Will consider frame only, but prefer to sell complete

Prices do not including shipping or fees.  Located in Charlottesville, VA 
and happy to deal locally.

[RBW] FS: Clarks of Harrow frameset, Lots of Parts, Nitto, Velo Orange, etc

[Dan Bracey]

Well, my wife says it is time to get all of the unused bike parts out of our 
tiny apartment.  Here is a long list of parts, including an interesting 
frame.  There should be links to images for each part.  The whole gallery is 
here:

https://picasaweb.google.com/112399454302428216350/BikeParts03?authuser=0&feat=directlink

I'll try to update the list as things sell.  You can either pick them up 
from my apt if you are in NYC, otherwise paypal to dlbra...@gmail.com is 
preferred and buyer will pay actual shipping cost (as cheap as possible). 
 I'm leaving the country for two weeks on Sept 2, so I'll try to ship as 
much as possible before I leave, otherwise you'll have to wait until I'm 
back on Sept 19:


*Clark's of Harrow 56 cm Reynolds 531 Lugged 
Frameset
*

I purchased this frame last October from a Bike Forums member.  The frame 
(even with the paint imperfections) is beautiful, just too small for me. 
 The photos that I've included are of the way it was built up by the 
previous owner.  I rode the bike twice since I've own the frame.

>From the resarch I have done, Clark's of Harrow was a cycle shop in Harrow, 
London in the 1950s-60s.  It is not clear to me if Clark's of Harrow 
produced their own frames or if they branded frames from other London 
builders.  One London builder, Wally Green, built frames for Ivor Clark of 
Harrow during this time period, so it is possible that this is a Wally Green 
made frame from the late 1950s. You can read more about Wally Green here:

http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/builders/wallygreen.html

The frameset has a 56cm seat tube (c-t) and a 56 cm top tube. Chain stays 
are 17". I think the photos show the condition reasonably well--some chips 
all around but particularly on the left-side chain stay, but the finish 
overall is in quite good shape and the lug lining is well preserved. 
Reynolds 531 db tubing, Simplex rear dropouts. 

Price is $150 plus actual shipping cost.  Sale includes frame, fork, 
seatpost, and Campy headset (which has some external pitting, but bearing 
surfaces are good).
