There were lots of dust caps for sale at the SF Expo/Bike Swap. In fact there was one table at the swap where a seller had something like 15 - 20 sets of used and NOS looking dustcaps for sale....
His prices were not that bad too at an average of 9 bucks a set........if you just happen to have a Sugino crankset, that is.
He had a set of no-name spun aluminum ones for 10 bucks that I should have grabbed, but I already spent 30 bucks just getting my nephew and me through the doors, so even that sounded too expensive...

Would be nice to find the early aluminum ones with just two pin holes.

On the pin hole Allloys you looking at $15-20 for the re-pops and $30+ on nice originals. I have actually brought cheaper thrift tore bikes just to strip like these.

I bought a couple of black plastic press fit caps for my Sugino AT. One already fell out. Good old genuine plastic.
