Having a clear out of projects that will not be completed so a couple of things to go for free.
The Orbit America 56cm 531 Competion frame from around 1990 is a bit too big for me. There is a layer of very fine rust spots on the pearlescent white paint surface of the frame due to it being stored in a garage for 20+ years but I don't think it has damaged the steel surface. I scraped the paint off a small area under one of the stays and there appears to be no rust on the frame. It could be resprayed or left as it is as it does not look bad. I will include the 105 headset and the Shimano bb. Because of the cosmetic state I am asking only for the cost of postage.
This thread refers to the surface rust issue: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/surface-rust-removal-orbit-america.484619/#post-3631079
The Mavic GP4 rim/Campagnolo hub wheelset is in good condition but it is a tubular wheelset so probably of limited interest to people. Again only for postage cost.
I have a lot on at the moment so by the time I source a wheel box and frame box it could take a few weeks.
