Let's Talk FT Bologna Extra Rolling Hubs
I bought an unused wheelset with FT Extra Rolling Hubs and Durex Aero Dynamic rims with 28 flat spokes front and rear.
I scraped off the old glue, and was just about to throw them on a Cilo I'm building a single-speed for sale to a hipster, but a quick check on eBay shows a listing for GBP345.
A look at Velobase shows not much info but pictures that confirm I indeed have these hubs.
They indeed are extra nice in rolling, and I suppose I'll keep them, but I'd like to know if anyone else has experience with these hubs.

better late then never, I'm pretty sure they are Omas made. Omas was originally a high quality Italian Auto racing parts company. Campagnolo had them make the Titanium parts for the Super Record Gruppo early 80s. Same era Omas was making their own parts and the TI hubsets they made were excellent, out of Balogna also. the hubs shells were very similar and they had SKF bearings and were some of the best hubs money could buy and they were expensive. Yours look the same except that stamping on them. The wheels you have are very nice I would cherish them and enjoy. They are racing wheels and still ultra lite by todays standards.
