PSA: IRD Cyclone Mk I 5sp freewheel on Amazon - $45
I was hunting around for a five speed freewheel with a bit larger big cog and came across a 13-28 IRD Cyclone on Amazon for $45:
IRD Cyclone Mark 1 Bicycle Freewheel (5sp - 13-28T)
Given IRDs are generally $70-$80, I went ahead and snapped one up. Figured others might be interested as well.

I think the Cyclone is their current production. IRD had a different model several years ago which had issues.

Also, apologies for not just posting this to the "are you looking" thread. Brain freeze I guess.

Discontinued from IRD? The third party seller, https://www.boibike.com/, is local to me, has a brick and mortar LBS on the Westside that I have bought stuff from, and comes from a bicycle shop family that has had a presence here since before I was born. Just a shameless plug.
