Jeff,

Try this link at Greg Parker's Bicycle Classics:

http://00eda5d.netsolhost.com/bottom.html

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you may find what you're looking for. Now if I can just figure out what I need on my 1974 Cinelli. Thick rifled cups? No, the thin ones? But are they rifled. It may be best just to ask or buy from someone that knows.
