Retro Specialized Tandem Hubs
Well I guess I was thinking these hubs would go much higher than they did on ebay tonight - ebay item 280188538196 - maybe I was itching to buy something after being beat out on some nice Dura Ace 6 speed wheels this afternoon which means I am waiting on another project. Also I set a side some 40 hole rims Velocity Symentry rims when they stopped bing made for my next touring bike build.
So here they are Specialized FreeWheel Tandem hubs - takes freewheels 5 to 8 speed - adjustible from 130-145 rear axel spacing. Now the question to you all is who actually made them - I don't think Sanin but maybe the are beefed up Superb Pro High Flange - Suntour? Everyones best guess would be appreciated. Mw

Suntour hubs were made by Sanshin/Sunshine/etc AFAIR I think they made Specialized as well.
