Ive wanted a set of these for a while now and these arrived today, just need to change the axles and a light polish and these beauties will be like new. Spoke marks are virtually non existent.

Just got to build a high end 85ish bike around these now. I did have in mind a JMC Andy Patterson

but open to suggestions

Cheers

Adam.

........ Not that i'll ever get to own a set

Cool those Adam

when you say ''just got to build''. do you mean your actually going to build a bike yourself finally?

Best hubs out there to spend £400 on

and not just because they're 400 quid. Good work pal

If your gonna do an Andy Patterson it needs graphite tuffs

and not one of "your" seats

Lovely hubs by the way

best way to polish them is to remove the axle and bearings and put the axle back in and just pinch it up so one end of the axle sticks out more than the other
then put the long side of the axle in a drill and spin it up in a cloth with t-cut and it will come out stunning

Very nice

Yeah, I saw one recently with Graphites and it did look good but a little bulky for that sleek frame in my opinion.
And if I was lucky enough to land an AP a checkered Shotgun ll wouldn't be going anywhere near it.

I presumed as they were for road bike they would need changing but someone else just Pmd that question too so maybe not. $:-\$
I'm taking them down to Steve tomorrow so I'll let you know.

Cheers

Adam

PS: Anyone got any other suggestions for a suitable build for these hubs?

wildon · « **Reply #13 on:** March 14, 2012, 08:10 PM »

yeah they look like mine did before i sold them and they fit

Changa maybe

AKGOFF · « **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2012, 08:30 PM »

Got Sonlites going on a Changa if I get one.

Hang your head in shame

Nomura cruiser then

neil · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2012, 10:40 PM »

What about a nice torker?

kungfunky · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2012, 10:46 PM »

GJS Big Tube ? 200 made so nice and rare will will fit into your high price range too

AKGOFF · « **Reply #21 on:** March 15, 2012, 07:33 AM »

The Big Tubes shockingly enough are even uglier than Nomuras. I need something slender and sleek to match these slimline dainty hubs, not some big ugly thing. AP is still top of the list so far and finding the AP bars will satisfy my need for rarity.

Was talking to brummie about this yesterday. Prob the only build I'd do now, but I'd have to find the bars too... Not an easy task though $:-\$
