Nope, not yet. I need a hood with the shield logo.
Anyone know a place where I can find some narrow leather (or anything else that is nice) toe straps? The Binda ones I got are too wide for the end slots on the pedals. Tan, honey, red or perhaps even black would suffice.

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.
