I like these high flange Normandy hubs.I have them on several bikes, and they are smooth and look great. These are horribly oxidized though, and while I'll definitely try to get the shine back (the smoothness is still there, believe it or not) it is not a short term objective. Expect the first road-going version of this bike to wear a different set of wheels.
