Dating Bullseye hubs
« on: February 17, 2012, 07:13 PM »
Hey chaps....

Thinking of lacing up some rims (not sure which yet) using Bullseye hubs.  Looking for pre 85's though.  Is there any way to date these, as I do not want to use a newer set?

Cheers!    :daumenhoch:

I'd say 80% of the ones you see for sale and on peoples builds are the modern ones  

people just put the oval  old school logo decals on  :-\

Bullseye made their first production sealed hubs in 1975 for roadbikes, had quick release and skewers. Came out with small BB for roadbikes.

1978 came out with Bmx version hub..same Bullseye hub design but with axle bolt.spanner type

1981-82 Bullseye Hubs came out with allen wrench axle bolts

1985-86 Changed Bullseye font logo on hub from oval label to longer font style with a bullseye in it.

1986-87 Changed big Allen wrench bolts on hub to smaller Allen bolt head

Chris, the logo was different in '83. Think it was changed in late '82 but it was definately the target logo in '83.

R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

Decals deffo changed earlier as seen in link below on my GHP 20" , this bike was custom built by Faze 7 as it's shown in the pics circa Oct/Nov 83  ;)
