If anyone knows of a source, please let me know. These are the ones that say Flight Deck on them and have a chromed appearance. They need to be mint/excellent condition with no scratches.

Thanks.

There's a guy on EBay selling blank versions of that item (3D Printed). I bought some because I'm kind of in the same boat as you. The original ones are very hard to find. I did find some a few years ago by diligently and frequently searching the web with all the search terms I could think of. I found them in some obscure web bike shop that I can't remember. Check out EBay if you haven't already. You might be able to have a local decal shop print up some graphics to stick on them to match the original. Or, you might find some real ones (I just saw some 5500/105 of the same era listed).

Good luck

Hey, thanks. It's funny how it's easier to find 40 year old parts on the market than it is to find these little plates. It was a really bad design to put a chromed piece of plastic as the foot stool for a bike turned upside down.

I never turn my bikes upside down, but they still get scuffed through normal use. I don't know what you'd need to keep them pristine, maybe cover them with tape?

Bought the bike second-hand, so I have no way of knowing how they received their "patina"... I had some on a Madone one time and they never got one scuff over 5 years. I try to take care of my stuff.
