"<< Shimano Freewheels >> The current freewheels are pretty unlike the On Topic versions..

hi Dale and gang,

* how close do the IRD freewheels get to On Topic Shimano freewheels? Shimano had their twist-tooth stuff going during the later OnTopic period.

* regarding headsets, is the Tange Levin considered On Topic? They are still in production, right? How about my favorite, the Stronglight A9? I know that the Stronglight Delta was around in 1989, but have no idea when they first introduced their roller bearing design. The A9 is certainly a favorite of mine for my vintage bikes, owing to its classic looks and ruggedness.

* pedals: are the black cage versions of the MKS Sylvan no longer produced? Or just hard to find?
