HIGH FLANGED HUBS

Don't ask me why but about a year ago, I got bitten by the high flange bug ( after having been bitten by the vintage roadie)
so I started gathering some :roll:

Here are my finds :mrgreen:

FRENCH


LEOPARD - lower range stuff but amusing name - pretty rare in France, they obviously never had much success





Unknown ( with a Pinarello skewer ?!) - Possibly foreign but with round holes which is rarer than the ubiquitous "kidney" shaped hole




EOLIA - pretty rare french and one of the first sealed bearings one :idea:




NORMANDY - ubiquitous mid range french one on most of the mid range wheels and machines



NORMANDY round holes - much rarer and possibly earlier



NORMANDY LUXE COMPETITION - a bit more conspicious with the red stickers and red side "plastic covers"



MAILLARD 700 - going up the range




HURET ALPIN High Flange - actually Alpin rebadged Huret - lovely as very airy - but not forged in one piece so not very reliable




PELISSIER 2000 Professionnel - the top of french sealed bearings hubs




ROVAL - Not full high flanged ones but they are so beautiful, I can't skip them :mrgreen:



FOREIGN

Sunshine ( possibly US )



SHIMANO DURA ACE ( need to replace skewer as these are later)



CAMPAGNOLO NUOVO TIPO



CAMPAGNOLO NUOVO RECORD - a Pair plus one earlier without record engraved




Need to add some MAXI CAR ( but on built wheels ) later :idea:

Prior or other “swiss cheese slicers” are unfortunately out of my reach ! :?
 
Re:

These you have seen on here, Theforez hubs made by RFG Sub brand of the famous French Rousson et Chamoux company.

You can have them for a tenner plus postage if you want (or I will make them into chandeliers) :D
 
Must hunt out my Suzie and Race light :). Those rims look like a pioe of module E, maybe some of the early hubs would look better with sprints :)

I know Shaun, clinchers Module E and old Module 3 for the most part , but have already some hubbed sprint rims - you mean tubulars right ?

Its true I also have some tubular rims in stock that could do the trick



but I need also some clinchers wheels with nice hubs :idea: :lol:
 
Nice collection - I'm currently cleaning up a pair of Bayliss & Wiley Continentals. The rear's pretty trashed though, so I'm in the market for another..

Also, Sunshine are Japanese (and also known as Sansin).
