Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm in the market for a cheap hubset and I came across these:

American Classic: $20/pair NOS


Superbe Pro: $50/pair NOS


There are also these Phils going for $100 NOS


I'll be using this bike more for touring, and not racing, so weight is much less of an issue than durability. What do you think?
