Wanted 4 or 5 speed block

[bikeworkshop]

oh, so your’s really is a mine.
I could lend you my Tilly Lamp, am hoarding it for the end of days.

I've got 3, 5s and 6s, but no 4 speed
Quite a variety at 5 speed, including a wide ratio skiptooth one, but it would need work

Good god!

14-24 5-speed Cyclo in reasonable condition. One removal slot is a bit chewed but otherwise all good. Feels smooth enough but might benefit from a wee strip and clean. Tenner posted.

That’s very generous, before I say ‘yes please’, and I hope you don’t mind, but could I check the price that @bikeworkshop had in mind, as he offered to find one (and boy, did he find some!) first? Am trying to be fair to all (including me lol)

I have a Shimano 14-24T, 5 speed if it's of any interest.
Asking £5 plus postage.

What thread are you looking for?

Ah, now that’s a good question.
The one that came off was a Cyclo and from the 50’s at the earliest, which might rule out @Vetus Ossa Shimano?
How do I work out the thread type on the BW hub?

Aren’t the threads pretty standard?

British freewheel thread is the same as bsa rh bb thread iirc and Italian is so close must people don't notice.

You might need to be wary of the French...

Is there a ratio, quality or condition you are leaning towards?

Yes, I remember now,, it’s been a while since I tinkered with older stuff.

Did you have a posted price in mind for one of the five speed blocks (one that’ll not need a lot of attention)?
