Early Steve Potts CCR

The dude that sold this bike to the ebay seller called the bike a WTB Racer. Maybe he mistook the name, but I am not so sure. This bike, built by Steve Potts, has a number of details that differentiate it from later CCRs (cross country racers). The cable guides are very different and the fork is fillet brazed, not TIG welded. The bike has just enough patina to keep it real too. Oh yea, dibs on stems etc was a fantastic bonus.

Wolber tubulars (for mountain bikes!)

I am given to understand that the kids are starting to use something like these again. I suppose that means that Wolber was ahead of its time. I have wanted some Wolber products for my collection (hoard) so happy to find this unusual item. I wonder why so many people want to call the company Wobler.

Newsboy Hat

I have a Newsboy (from the original run of 100) so why not get the hat too?!

More Breezer goodies - bars and front derailleur!

Slowly, slowly, the pieces are coming together. I found a vintage Magura bar that should do the trick and a NIB (new in box) Suntour VX front derailleur. The frame will be re-nickel plated and I have some parts at the plater for a test run.

Breezer parts day - Phil Wood and Suntour content

Picked up a couple items that I need for my Breezer Series II build. Outstanding parts are dwindling. Today picked up the No. 4 Phil Wood bottom bracket and a Suntour Cyclone GT rear derailleur.

Thomson R2 Stem

I am looking for a little less rise on my Moots Vamoots (and wanted to stop with the mountainbike stem)

Specialized Stumpjumper tires

A little age-worn, but will be perfect for one of my older bikes - either an 82 Ritchey Mountain Bikes Everest or a Breezer Series II.
