Jerry. My "Perfect" that has the 13T cog is a six-speed, standard spaced, not one of the narrow spaced. Regards, Kevin Kruger - Grantville, PA

Is your Perfect a 5 spd or 6 spd?  My Sutherland's 3rd Edition shows a 14T smallest cog on all ProCompe and Perfect 5-spds and on some 6 spds.  But it lists a "Pro-Compe PC-6000" 6-spd with a 13T small cog.  Later Sutherlands also list ProCompe and Perfect models with suffixes similar to the above PC-6000 which were 6 spd with a 13T small.  So there were FWs marked as ProCompe or Perfect that took a 13T, although they all seem to be 6 spd.  Not sure you could get a 5 spd with a 13T, as you could with Winner.  Also not sure if the ProCompe PC-6000 or similarly designated  models had the same body as the original ProCompe.
