Yes. Something completely different than the standard ebay sucks thread.

While perusing vintage parts, I happen across this. An exact match for my 1933 Frejus. Not only will the rear hub be an excellent spare, one of my Frejus-branded wing nuts is broken. I had someone suggest I could repair the broken wing nut. I considered it because what are the chances of finding an exact match for a ultra-low quantity wing nut made in Italy 80 years ago?

As it turns out, my chances are great! All because of ebay. And a seller willing to ship to a third party in Italy who shipped it to me. And for CdM who provided that third party (thanks again). The alternative - spending several thousand dollars on a trip to Italy and getting completely lucky at a scambio.

The condition of the hub is horrible and will need a lot of elbow grease. I paid way too much. I am happy as a clam.
