I was thinking the same thing. I love those hubs. I have a set built up with MA 40s and they are one tough wheelset.

Me too, me too, but I just can't find the right bike for them. Something out there is the perfect match!

Maybe you just need to bite the bullet and buy a bike to match those wheels . . .

I actually have a charcoal Colnago Super repaint that these would look amazing on. I just don't ever see myself getting around to building it anytime soon otherwise these would be mine!

Seriously. I’m not opposed to that. Happy for any suggestions of what may look good. I have my eye on something and so moving things not current in use.

Remind us, what size do you ride? I've seen your bikes and they are top shelf. Maybe my Colnago frameset is better off in your hands?!?! 58cm ctc... just sayin'!

Wow!!

Awesome wheel set!!

I wish I had a frame to match!!!!

I have a cream Pug frame. But that would not do the wheels justice.

56-57cm top tube

I'm looking mostly for 80s American custom steel bikes (Fuso, Gangl, Davidson, DiNucci)...if that narrows down the suggestions a bit.

Yep - black/silver/white...

The couple primarily white bikes I have also have splashes of flat yellow and these just don’t quite jive. They’re perfect for someone though.
