Looking for shimano 600 high flange hub and front shimano skewer
Looking for shimano 600 high flange hubs - specifically looking for the rear hub - as the rear hub on my bike is mismatched. Currently has high flange shimano in front with low flange suzue in back (front hub is using joytech skewers but rear is using shimano skewers). Maybe its my own OCD, but I just have to try and find the rear hubs (5/6 speed) to match the front (and front shimano skewers) or it will drive me insane!!!
I tried looking on ebay but it seems like these are pretty rare. Any idea of where else I can search besides ebay? I believe these are the hubs I am looking for but mine have no stickers (more pics of hubs in post below):

Also looking for front shimano skewer like these
If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to find these items would be greatly appreciated

You could try advertising for them here on the forum. I've got a set of these on my '76 Sentinel Whisper GT. Although these bicycles aren't particularly common either, they usually go pretty cheap when you find them. They also have very early Dura-Ace components, which you could use or resell to recoup the cost of the bicycle. Not sure what other (mid 70's?) models these were offered on.

Shimano was fairly well-known in those days for producing very durable hubs.
There was even a high-flanged cassette hub briefly offered, according to company literature, but I've never seen one in person.

I do have a set, I believe, laced to 27" wheels, with a megarange cassette and straight spokes. About as heavy as a reasonably nice road bike wheelset will get. Maybe I can be persuaded to sell them

Shimano high-flange hubs?
It's been a while for this thread, but if you still have the Shimano 600 high-flange hubs and might be interested in selling them, send me a message.
