Guess who's got a whooooolllleee lotta NOS DA10 coming in soon?!!

Fuuuuck yea man! SUUUPER STOKED!! Should be here in the next couple of weeks:


If you recall I posted this group a little while back when it turned up on ebay:

Up for auction is a large group of mostly NOS Dura Ace 10 pitch track components. DA 10 pitch stuff is becoming increasingly harder to come by...this could be someone's chance to amass a good chunk of components. The list is as follows:

1 NOS DA 10 pitch chain in box 130 links
1 NOS 36 hole hubset with NOS 10 pitch lockring
1 lightly used 36 hole hubset w/ lockring and 15 tooth cog {photos indicate signs of use}
1 lightly used 15 tooth 10 pitch cog
3 NOS DA 10 pitch cogs / 14, 15, and 16 tooth
4 NOS DA 10 pitch chainrings / 50, 51, 52, and 53 tooth
1 lightly used 46 tooth chainring
1 NOS DA 10 pitch crankset in box 165mm w/ chainring
1 NOS DA 10 pitch italian threaded BB
1 NOS set of chainring tools included with crankset

The group never sold and wasn't relisted either. >> a month and a month and a half later when this email turns up in my inbox:

Hello,

I recently came across your blog and noticed you had posted a link to a listing I had on Ebay a while back for some Dura Ace 10 pitch components. If you are interested in the group I would sell the lot for $1,275.00 shipped. I would prefer the components go to a bike enthusiast who would enjoy them and not have them sit in my storage for another 12 years... I am in the process of getting some new equipment to build out a small machine shop and could you the money towards the expense.

Let me know if you are interested. -DC

Um.. AWESOME MUCH?!

What are the chances that I toss a proffered figure out there that the seller randomly stumbles across it and goes for it?

IT WAS FUCKIN' MEANT TO BE!!!

As if that wasn't good enough I was just thinking of where I should allocate a portion of the funds I recently received for my white Nagasawa:


aaaawwwwyyyyeeeaaaahhhh!

Dude I sold it to was cool as hell too! DEF made parting with it MUCH easier knowing it was going into the right hands. If you live in the New Haven CT area keep your eyes open cause you might just see it rolling around yo heewwwd..

Also, speaking of DA10 I picked up this NOS 15T cog about a week ago from Sasha:


I'd been hounding the living shit out of him from the minute he told me he had it. Primarily because it has the STANDARD HUB THREADING! For those of you unaware, DA10 hubs and cogs have has a slightly smaller threading than the standard for just that little bit of extra weight savings. That and well, if you saw the cogs in person you'd understand why they had to downsize the threading. SO SMALL! I also have a DA10 threaded cog with the standard 12.7mm teeth on it but this new one is juuuust what I'd been searching for..

Anyways, the great thing about this cog is that I now have the option of running DA10 on any hub set of my choosing! Now if only I could think of which bike would it would be best suited for.. Actually, I know exactly which bike it's going on I'm just not going to tell you.. yet..

In non DA10, yet still pretty damn awesome news, check out this REDONK Jack Taylor Tandem from the Oakland swap meet/bike show from this past Sunday seen by William of the NYC fixed board:


Now if that doesn't make your dick hard then there's something seriously wrong with you! ..or maybe it's just me..

I was also super stoked to see what appears to be this F.Moser from a little while back getting built up awesomely:


Then here's a few sexy laaaadehz:


Very nice, very nice..

Along with a lil lulz since it fucking KILLED me:


BEST. STONEY. ACCESSORY. EVAR!!!
