This site is a project that I started a while ago. It is still in a development phase, as I have a lot of other material lying around that I want to put on it as well, but the scanning work is quite time-consuming.

So far, most of the scans are of the pages with racing and randonneur models, which have most of my interest, and I thought it was nice to have all the documentation in one view.

So, feel free to e-mail me if you want to have scans added of other models or if you want something translated from the dutch or french text.

These hubs are branded "Prior" and are made by Maillard. They are very well made, with ground cups and cones and the dustcaps have been polished completely flush with the rest of the hub, so that it looks like made out of one piece.
