Campy Tipo hub. Is it dead Jim, or only a flesh wound?

Hey thanks guys,
Kabuki12 , I sent you a PM.
SwimmerMike , Since mine is English thread, I'm going to see if I can work something out with Kabuki12, though I realize that an Italian hub can be force-fit to an English freewheel.

@davester, Bummer about the cracked hub. I would definitely replace it before your ride down to Cambria. I'm curious how many miles it might have left and what results would follow a catastrophic failure, but you are too handsome and wise to try to find out. I see you've already got some offers, but I can hook you up with a Record hub if needed. PM if interested.

Wow! That's the nicest looking Tipo I've ever seen. I've never seen one remotely new and I've been seeing them since probably late '70s and riding a high flange front my brother gave me ~1985. Not in regular service now but still ready to go for a ride any time. I always just assumed they left the factory with 15 years of riding on them.

@Kabuki12 - They were found on several French bikes. These were standard on the 1972 Motobecane Le Champion, pictured.

Glad to hear you're swapping it out, I won't be bringing my torch.

I have the expected version too, 1972 Bottecchia Giro d'Italia upgraded to the Professional.
