Some more exciting pictures ... I think these hubs will be gracing the ROH. I absolutely love the look of these Blumfield hubs. I do like a large flange, but these are pretty tasty none the less. The rear is nos and I haven't serviced it yet, the front was fairly well used but no bad dings. I've given it a gentle polish and serviced - one of the cones is pitted which is a bummer. I can't really feel it by hand, so might get away with it. On the lookout for a cheap ratty front to cannibalize or please let me know if you have one going spare.
The anodized track nuts make me a bit weak kneed. Pretty pretty rare, there's pics on the internet of green ones and blue on an amazing Ephgrave on classiclightweights. I asked Hilary Stone if he had any, not expecting any luck, but he had nos gold ones! At a reasonable price too. They are probably just for pics, not sure about 70 year old alloy threads!
I have some Cyclo 'True Track' chain adjusters for forward facing dropouts and some steel Chater Lea track nuts, so think those will be for riding.
