Well, not quite, Sheldon lists 52T for $40, smaller sizes for $32, Loose Screws has 53T for $34. I should caution that the ones at Loose Screws are new production, not as nice as the old ones, don't know about Sheldon's. There used to be a lot of the original Stronglight pullers around, I think they probably came with the cranks at one time. These are smaller and simpler than the VARs, you may still stumble across one at a swap meet.
