Oy vey! Yesterday I got an entirely unsympathetic off-list message from Massland indicating that he thought "it (was) absurd to continue such a pointless debate," as the whole design change / lot-to-lot discussion. I must conceed that it was absurd to take up precious bandwidth with that discussion, and I am greatly relived that we have moved on to more substantial and relevant issues. It's nice to know that when on- or off-list discussions verge on conflict, the fine gentlemen and ladies of this list will politely drop the matter, show a little respect, and let sleeping dogs lie.

You now have me totally confused. When I bought my Hi-Lo front hubs, while on a visit to Campagnolo, I was led to believe that I had bought the full lot of 87 hubs ever produced. This made me wonder where you had dug up the picture, as I still have all hubs in my personal stash. I also noticed that the Q/R lever is reversed in clear contradiction to the proper technical instructions imparted to me. Coud this therefore be a counterfeit hub? perhaps a replica hub? a second generation? or a lot-to-lot variation of standard record?

Now you say that fron HI-Lo hubs are all a hoax and that photos lie, or are these line drawings? What do I now do with my hubs?
