Anyone know if pattern sprockets are being made for the 189 model 175 Sport of the mid 50's? I could get an alloy one made, but I worry about the original getting lost in the post.

Hi there! These are still available in Italy (of course :wink: ). Try contacting Luciano Fasolo, he can be found on all the major classic bike fairs in Italy. I am not sure if he ships overseas, but you can always give it a shot. Try luciano.fasolo61@gmail.com *thumb*

Did you have any luck finding a rear sprocket? I hope to see Luciano at the Mostra Scambio in Reggio Emilia next month.
That is, if by that time there is not a certain virus threat in northern Italy anymore... *durchdreh*

I must check back here more often ;)

Thanks for the offer, but In the end, I got an alloy one made up, so I have the correct dimensions if anyone needs one. I might get another made with one more tooth. Since I got the correct profile rear tyre on, it is even more high geared. For Vintage Motor Cycle Club runs round the hills of Shropshire it would be nice if I could hold 4th a little longer.
