Great to meet you too. The freewheel pictured has the lowest range of the two 2-notch Reginas I still have. I've always got my eyes on Ebay for reasonably priced Regina freewheels with a few more teeth. (Next BD shillfest that I see on BF, I'm planning to claim that I admired your "Bottecchia," you admired my "Bottecchia," I admired your Windsor, and we each paid the other $20, making us both shills. )
