Item Condition

I grade products as honestly as possible and depict blemishes in both description and photos—please study them carefully. I tend to be overcritical and customers report items to be in better shape than expected often. From best condition to worst condition, my grading scale is as follows. Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

Obscure and cool fender mounted flint scrapers! They have a twisty wire and double springs to keep it securely mounted into two holes in the fender.  Richard Bryne's Speedplay Museum has a set of these with tags saying "Carlton Tyresaver", and PB Bikes has what looks to be the same part listed as Allez by Holdsworth.

These little gadgets hang from your brake bolts and gently "scrape" your tires clean from road grime and stray glass.  They had many names—tire scrapers, tire savers, flint catchers... This version is made by Bicycle Research and is a wire construction.

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
