This is my first FG post! An old (61) guy who's been riding for a little over a year.

Have a nice geared MTB/commuter, but have been reincarnating a 70's dept store 3 speed. This Winter's project was to build alloy wheels, F&R, with a FG hub in back. Just finishing up. Couldn't fit 700's on the frame/fork without spreading both, so stayed with ISO 590's. Both hub OLD's make replacements tough to find! 90mm in front,
100 in back. Found a CHEAP rear and laced it up....is this one of those "suicide" hubs? Got lots of red Locktite, hope it works!

Here's a few pics of the evolution of this thing. It rides nicely, but I'm guessing it'd be a little "slack" for most folks here:
