^ You always post the coolest stuff. Those hubs are certainly drool worthy. The seem to have just enough metal to encase the bearings and a spindle which makes for a cool look. What can you tell us about them? Were they manufactured by or for Frejus?

Interesting side note, I found an ad showing FB used aluminum in their hubs as early as 1935.

A pamphlet covered in crosses and and bold-faced "JESUS SAVES."
I kind of wish I saved it. But then I remembered that I don't need more religious propaganda in my life. My mom is enough.

After three years of nerve issues and hot foot problems in my right foot I decided to try toe clips to see if it resolves the problem. Ordered up a set of these cleats from Yellow Jersey on Monday and got them today. I'll try them out Friday before the racing at the velodrome in Redmond, WA.

Well, it didn't exactly come today. It did come from Finland.
Home built AC-CDI for my 79 Honda CX500. It works, too. Put a thousand miles on it already.
