About these Maillard 700; I guess not all of them has Dural cogs, cause I was watching a couple of them and they did not seem to be so much sought after..
It would be much more greater if you are able to give some numbers (weights
) on these models. I really looked after this info on the web, but couldn't find so much. Maybe I don't know where to look at??
Yes, most Malliard freewheels and cogsets are steel as I have them on my bike and other French bikes I had in the past. I must have been eyeing the same Malliard 700 freehwheel at eBay as you were these past couple of weeks. The one I was considering getting was the 7 speed 13/19 steel "corncob" 700 super compact series freewheel as I already have on my newly restored Vitus Carbone. These compact freewheels meant for 126mm spaced rear hubs are getting scarce, specially at the 7 narrow speed format, and I was thinking of getting it for a spare or to mount on to my other tubular wheelset that I have on my PSV so I have an easier time swapping wheels between the two bikes. I didn't buy it cuase something else just caught my attention instead.
