My garage, maybe. :)

I have a boxful, but can't recall condition. I'll let you know.....

Oh yeah? And what are you going to be doing with that one? any chance it's a 5 speed 2 prong and with a 23-26t big cog and you'd part with it?

It is a ORO-BX ISO 14-1618-21-24 from 1986 and I think a 2 prong (two indentations on the face of the spinner wheel). I know the original freewheels for the bike are hard to find, and this one isn't it as I think the original cog was 27t. Right now I'm inclined to hold onto it and put it on one of the high-flange hubbed wheels that will be built. The Dura-Ace freewheel on it now is a 24t big cog.

I don't blame you.
