Velosteel hubs are here

OK FOLKS, THEY'RE HERE!!
Yeah, found a bedraggled cardboard box on the doorstep today - hubs made it!!

Let me know if you want a Velosteel hub. I checked the postal orifice and I am thinking a flat-rate Priority box is the way to go in the continental US. I can probably get 3-4 hubs in one of these boxes, if that's the way you want to go.
I kept running into transfer fees, postage of $350 (!), etc. etc. so I think I'll ask $40 including shipping for a single hub, multiples a bit less per-hub 'cause they can share a box. Canada I understand is a bit different due to import duties, etc. and may have to ship some other means.
I have mostly snap-on cog models (same as most modern coasters and internal-gear hubs) but I did get a couple that take threaded cogs too. These are all set up for 120mm spacing but they could possibly be spaced out a bit. Each hub includes the chainstay clip for the torque arm , and an 18t cog. The threaded units include the 18t cog and lockring.
One more thing: I have heard that these hubs need to be opened up and greased / adjusted prior to use. I'm going to leave that up to you.
And finally: I'm just a guy who REALLY wanted a Velosteel of my own. I'm not a distributor, not an agent, not a service depot. I can't warranty these hubs. But I've done the work and fronted the cash and got a case of them, and I'd love to pass them on to you. PM me with an email address and shipping address and I will invoice you via PayPal....
Thanks
Muttley
