pedal dust caps '67 Superbe..
Hi There!
I just acquired a pretty decent 1967 green Raleigh Superbe. It's almost complete.. even has working front dynohub, headlamp and tail light...brooks leather saddle and saddlebag with original bike wrench(5 in 1).
It's missing the Raleigh stamped dust caps for the pedals and the aluminum frame pump. It's driving me crazy because I'm in the process of restoring it and can't find these items ANYWHERE!! I'm constantly checking ebay and craigslist nationwide. Please don't suggest Bikeville - they are a fantasy shop for vintage parts(big teasers). But I welcome any suggestions or offers anyone might have!
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks - I did see those, but I believe they are dust caps for the crank arms, not the pedals.

Well, I know that for some later pedals at least, they were the same size, but for an older bike I wouldn't imagine that to be the case.
