Here is a closeup of a pair of 32/40 hole Blumfield hubs. In my opinion these are the most exquisitely made hubs from the 'golden era' of British cycling. This pair includes Blumfield's green anodized alloy track nuts.

first, a disclaimer: this isn't my photo. It comes from the most recent Rouleur podcast web page, which is an interview with Stephen Roche:

https://rouleur.cc/journal/podcasts/...-stephen-roche

The photo apparently comes from the latest print issue of Rouleur, and is an impressive bit of drillium!
