Thanks, I guess the Superbes could still be "period" since Titans, as I recall, were mostly sold as framesets, and the last frames, if they set in shop inventory a year or so and maybe in the buyer's garage a similar time, could have been originally built up with Superbe. The Avocet crank may be stretching the point a bit though. Anyone know when the Phil Wood platform pedals were made? I have another pair of pedals which I think is definitely period as I think I saw them as well at the 1974 Worlds (maybe even on a Teledyne) - the infamous Cinelli "death pedals". However, I'm not quite brave (or foolish) enough to actually ride these on the road.

Regards,

Jerry Moos
