ParticipantIf no one here has an extra, keep an eye on eBay. I picked one up last week there for $10 shipped.

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.

MemberLivernose, 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 #4382chas60422
ParticipantHow 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.

MemberInteresting option. Unless there’s copyright issues regarding the image? It’s probably still under trademark protection.

ParticipantI sent an email to them with images. I’ll let you know what they say.

ParticipantDan 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.

ParticipantI 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.

ParticipantNot 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.
