Is My 1980s 6 Speed Uniglide An Ultegra?

I will see if I have a 14. Most likely 13's if that's of use - on a MTB it doesn't matter.

I used to build custom blocks and had a 12-19T cassette for TT's.. Uniglide was great for cassette changes.

My best bike still has Uniglide - all Dura Ace, but I should have a few locking bottom sprockets spare.

I've even got spare sprockets to one side ordered from the US a few years back for my best bike.

Let me take a look tomorrow.

OK, thanks. Although a MTB, it has always had road slicks fitted, and rarely leaves tarmac. Not sure what difference that makes to the highest gear being 13 or 14.

I have taken a few photos of the outer sprocket. I'm far from being an expert, but most teeth seem OK, but the odd one looks slightly 'hooked'.

Also, as regards turning the outer/smallest sprocket, is this possible? There is a spacer between outer and next sprocket in. Is this spacer separate on the Uniglide, or is it formed by a raised shoulder on the outer sprocket? If the latter, I'm thinking this sprocket ain't for turning, to paraphrase a famous PM.
