dasilvarsa Posted August 26, 2018 Share I would put the few spanners that might come in handy on top and leave the rest at the bottom of the toolbox for another 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendWarrior80 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Hi guys. I was given an old toolbox by my future father in law. It belonged to his father (grandfather?) I will confirm. He was quite the avid cyclist so I'm sure there are some interesting things inside. I know very little of these relics (some are obvious) but maybe some of you know what some of these items are?  I hope some of these pics are a "blast from the past" for you. If anyone has an idea of what I should do with all this stuff let me know. I would hang onto it.

DieselnDust Posted August 27, 2018 Share Contact Nils at Woodstock Cycles in Cape Town. That oke has similar treasure and will really appreciate what you have in that trunk or he'll tell you it's junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted August 27, 2018 Share The Black spanner in img 0376 seems to be related to a BB? Can loose cog or other classic rebuilders confirm? I have a early 80's Zeus roadbike, and if you are serious about paying it forward, I would be happy to receive it. I will in turn, as these things work pay something forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted August 27, 2018 Share Worthless rubbish.PM your address please.Ill send somebody to collect so that we can throw that crap away.Youre welcomeSounds like you work on an oil rig............ OP, WOW man some really cool stuff there. My toppie has a few tools like those as well and they still work hundreds, in fact sometimes I prefer the old stuff over the newer tools. The tools will always come in handy, the spares, unless you plan a few retro builds you will never use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI, if your in-law's family name is Coppi, Anquetil or Merckx then you may want to hang on to these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted September 22, 2018 Share I would go about it like this: 1. Get someone like Loose Cog or Hey You (retro encyclopedias) look at all the parts2. Pic the rarest / most unusual / most valuable / one you like best part from your box of goodies3. Find out what era it is from 4. Find out what kind of bike it would be considered ideal for 5. Start searching for the right frame in your size 6. Start searching for a groupset to match 7. Start searching for wheels, components etc 8. Go do a spannering course9. Build it10. Come ride Eroica SA in Montagu with team DJR next March - or go ride it in Italy / France / Britain /Japan / California Ps But that's just me, and I'm a bit weird Pps I'll probably start with one of the quill stems Edited September 22, 2018 by DJR gummibear, BenReaper and HeyYou 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyrax Posted September 22, 2018 Share Could be part of a toilet flush chain ????I'm a plumber and have seen some old stuff. Don't think this is plumbing related. To me it looks like it could be a detonator pin???? DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted September 22, 2018 Share Nice piece of treasure that. Unless you need to sell rather keep it or have a shop put it on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
