Normandy luxe competition

Does anyone have an orphaned gold label Normandy luxe competition rear hub (the one with integrated dust caps)? I have a front one and need a rear one so I can complete wheel set for my raleigh competition.

Maybe, I'll look, but do you want:
high flange? They DID make a low flange IIRC...but those may have been "red label" only
36 hole?
BSC or FR threading?

I have a set of matching wheels off a 1973 Raleigh Competition. These are the original tubulars: High flange Normandy Luxe Competitions (for sure) laced to Nisi rims (I think). If you think this is something that you might want, feel free to send me a pm. I haven't used them since I got them several years ago, so it's time to move them on.

36 hole, high flange, BSC threading is what I am looking for.

There are three generations of the Normandy Luxe Competition. The one you are seeking is the second. It was current roughly 1969-73. First generation has the oil hole clip and third generation has the red label and dustcaps. These hubs tended to be fitted to French bicycles and just a very few British ones. So most of the examples one encounters are metric/french threaded for the gear block. Happily the thread is coded on the hub so it is not necessary to measure. If there is a groove just inboard of the gear block threads on the hub body they are BSC/ISO. If that area is smooth/plain they are metric/french threaded.

Good info juvela, thanks for sharing it.^
BTW I have not forgotten the OP's request but have not had time to look thru my hub bucket which is offsite. I plan to look this Saturday.

[MENTION=423286]spock345[/MENTION]: I found a hub that fits your need, but it's laced to a tubular rim...I'll PM you with details.
