Subject: [CR] Normandy hubs for other brands?


Firstly I must correct the name of the seller of my Bianchi from my previous post......it was Brian Mays [not Brain May, the guitarist from Queen!]

Regarding Normandy hubs......did they ever make hubs for the larger bike brands of the day, for example the hubs in my Specialissima are branded 'Bianchi'

They are a all alloy large flange hub, and looking at the superb collection of Normandy hubs from Kurt they do look very much like a Normandy, having 6 oval slots, no step down, and quite squareish in profile......just put a couple of pics up on my flickrsite of the hubs http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevin_sayles_bikes/

I'm thinking these hubs might be later than the frame [1964] and are laced to Nisi Moncalieri rims, rustless spokes with a 'A' on the head......could they be from the 60s?

Thanks for any advice.
