I've just seen an old Olmo with these Altenburger hubs in a local bike shop. I guess it was from the mid 60s, Gran Sport derailleurs, Universal brakes, ... The hubs have been anodized in a deep purple(!) color. Pretty cool for the 60s. There's also a Altenburger equipped Cinelli at the CR pages: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy/cinelli_jeffs.htm so the parts were probably high end stuff. Later in the 70s Altenburger built (only?) cheap loooong reach brakes for low end commuter bikes.

I saw these and they looked interesting, I am not going to bid I was just curious if anyone knows what they would have been on. <A HREF="http://ebay.com/<blah> (Ends Nov-23-02 22:02:45 PST ) - ALTENBURGER bicycle hubs road track 1950s?WOW </A> Sam DiBartolomeo Riverside CA
