HI-E Cosmopolitan
Does anyone out there know anything about HI-E Cosmopolitan bikes? I remember having one of their flip/flop hubs, and I vagely remember that they also made a complete aluminum bike, featuring all of the components they made. I recall the hub I had was very well made, with sealed bearings, and pretty lightweight. Unfortunately, I was experimenting with different lacing patterns then, and I had laced it up with radial spokes on the drive side, and a 2x on the left. I guess it was too much stess, and the drive side flange cracked. Pity. Any info would be appreciated, history, where made, pictures, stories, who raced on them(if ever), and the like. Thanks! LATER.
