Thanks, Luker. For a 1981 bicycle, that would make these hubs a perfect period-correct upgrade from the original Ofmegas. I guess I lucked out on that one.
As you can see from the picture, this rear hub is definitely designed for a 6-speed freewheel (standard, non-ultra SunTour shown), so I agree with your early 1980s (or very late 1970s) assessment.
