Rear 130mm OLD with freewheel threading, blue anodized, 28h. It has the same number of holes on both sides (14) but the driveside flange is slightly larger than the NDS. Front, pink anodized, 32h, symmetric.

Not sure when these are from. I've seen a blue ano one on the internet before but that's the only non-silver one I've seen besides the black one above. I have a feeling late 80s or early 90s due to the ano and rear spacing.

Now the question...should I build some wheels with these? I'm 140 pounds. It would be a 700Cx38mm wheelset going on a 70s road bike.




Oh h**l yeah, make it so.
