That's just cruel as a) I can't really spend and money at the moment, b) if
I could spend money my gfx card just died...9600XT go pop and c) that's
waaaay too close to original to go buggerising about with. If I could find a
slightly sketchy bare frame like Brian did, that'd be perfect, but I
wouldn't tear that thing apart. I just can't be trusted with really nice
things, and I know it.

So, Mr. Dutch, I must have missed something waay back - what's the story
with these hubs? Do you have a stock of them you are trying to
off-load??

bought 3 of them during travels and my contact has more.
I think he mentione dsomething about buying out a whole shiteload at some auctionhouse or something like that?)

PS to all apparently the bearings in these are so-so (remember that price!) perhaps get em replaced/regreased when getting the wheel built up. no idea what bearings cost but they're just little steel balls, right?
