7spd freewheel (13-28 ratio) source wanted.

[Pete Whelan]

Since Sachs appear to have stopped making freewheels altogether, the availablity of decent
freewheels seems to have dried up, including the cog boards for Sachs freewheels.

Does anyone know of a 13-28 freewheel source, almost any make considered?

I know Shimano do a 14-28, but would prefer a 13-28 for our tandem. The Bandits of Bridgewater have
a few grossly overpriced freewheels listed, which is pushing me to build a new wheel instead and use
a cassette, etc.

Parker International still have some Sachs stuff available, at more realistic prices than SJS.
Byercycles is another option - they seem to have Sachs offers in CW from time to time.
