Fimoco dynamite front hub

How cool is that, never seen or heard of one before. Any info?
 
It's FIMOCO not FIMICO, it comes from Tuscany, Italy where I live. Follonica, to be more precise. It's the same brand later renamed Race Factory, mostly known for beautiful CNC'd forks, which worked VERY well.
They were absolutely the best elastomer forks around in 1994-95.
Unfortunately the manager was a nutter and messed everything up.
My friend has this very hub on his Szabo. Apparenty, it 's stiff but bearings are not very smooth.
 
Thanks for the info novekili :) , title changed ;)

And dont be ashamed of being italian
 
:D Din't want to be polemic, I'm afraid I tend to misuse block leters sometimes. BTW, where did you find it? Germany or Italy' (I doubt it was exported in other countries other than Germany)
 
As with most nice - pretty coloured bits, Came from Germany - as you suspected.

;)
