Hello Forum,
My office is on the verge of becoming a bike cave again, so i'm putting these up as the first stage in a glorious purge of cycle related paperweights.
First up, Mack Superlight hubs f+r – 36 hole, double fixed track goodness. Bought these from Fox a long time ago but have never found the project to build them up for.
Front is extra special as it is fitted with ceramic bearings. I have no idea if they offer any performance gain but they certainly spin forever. The front could probably do with a re-grease as there's a lilttle roughness when rotated back and forth, though not enough to stop the hub spinning a fascinating length of time when spun.
How much for these wonders you ask? Why, the same bargainous price as I bought them from Fox for - £110.
Secondly, 170mm Black Sugino 75's in stealth mode, not short enough for the steep banks of Calshot but more than good enough for a tricky right-hander off Clerkenwell. They're a little scratched, the photo looks infinitely worse than reality, the logos were removed for more blackness but there are no scuffs or heel rub and the tapers and threads are perfect. £95
If you're interested please post in the thread and follow with a PM, priority will be given to those willing to meet with cash.
Collection in either SW16 or Marylebone.
