Subject: [CR]Lambert/Viscount

Turning to the subject of Lambert/Viscount frames and components brings to mind of a pair of large flanged hubs which I have had for years and yet when I've mentioned to various folks they do 'nt show any interest .So there they are , "unwanted and unloved". It is 'nt because they are worn or scruffy in any way but a complete reverse but almost perfect. I would judge these quick release hubs have probably only being built up once in their life time. They are complete with their skewers and engraved name "LAMBERT plus knurled edging on the red traditional back ground.

So I wonder why , what is it about this particular range of components that leave a "nasty taste" with folks over here when they are mentioned. What opinion do the Lambert enthusiasts have say about the products? I wonder and I live in hope they may find a home one day as they have not ever fitted into any of my series of projects.
