Looking to purchase a tomato headset cap. Black or red in color…thanks!

I missed that one. $10 is unusually cheap. There was a black one recently that went for over $45 which was unbelievable. I’m used to paying at least $25 for one in decent shape. Seems like black ones are harder to find.

June 8, 2016 at 8:27 pm #4363mobyMemberLivernose, that’s been my experience as well regarding the caps. I think new conditioned ones in packages can sell for around $50 day in and day out. $10 is really cheap for a used one—someone scored.
A few years ago, there was a shop around me that had a bunch laying around from being an old Schwinn dealer. I picked up a handful at about a buck a piece.

Agreed, black ones on ebay go for 45. I troll the bay daily for homegrown swag

You aren’t the only one. I’ve got it setup to send me an email with new stuff everyday.June 10, 2016 at 7:47 pm #4382chas60422ParticipantHow about this website to make new headset caps. [url]http://kustomcaps.com/products/fully-kustom-cap[/url] While not authentic maybe a good alternative. Looks like $16 per cap. Can be made in any color also.
June 10, 2016 at 11:32 pm #4386mobyMemberInteresting option. Unless there’s copyright issues regarding the image? It’s probably still under trademark protection.
June 11, 2016 at 12:54 am #4387livernoseParticipantI sent an email to them with images. I’ll let you know what they say.
June 11, 2016 at 5:50 pm #4390livernoseParticipantDan Shust from kustomcaps emailed back and will make the tomato caps. He says he has the artwork, just order them under “fully kustom caps”.

Oh that’s sweet I might have to place an order. A black one has managed to elude my collection all these years so this might be perfect.
[/quote]June 12, 2016 at 12:58 am #4394livernoseParticipantI was going to order 10 for a better price , 5 red and 5 black. I can let you have one for cost once shipping is factored in. I’m not going to order until next week.
June 12, 2016 at 10:43 pm #4396livernoseParticipantNot looking for a group, but I can get 2 of each color for you. I just want a few for myself and can order 10 and get a cheaper price. I will order them this week. I’ll keep you updated.
