this generation of Normandy Luxe Competition hub launched in 1973

so you found something which is both period and national origin appropriate

one minor snag with these is that replacement cones have been unavailable for many years so that when they are required owners need to become resourceful/creative...

tip -



enlarged this image and was able to see that the groove indicating BSC thread is absent here. this means hub is metric thread. "most" Suntour gear blocks are BSC thread. there are some which are metric and are marked with a small letter "M" on the body. if block BSC thread you do not want to be mounting it on a metric thread hub as this is asking for difficulty.
