And Prym, Sapim, DT,etc,etc. The guys used national type stuff when they could and branched out when needed or a real price came along. I try to stick to country of bike origen when possible, but if not available use same guage as can to match up visually. The stuff was so international in scope,it's not to fanatic an issue unless you want to be very exact and then the quest gets a little more difficult and possibly pricey, but do your thing and the hell with what anybody says.Ted Ernst
