steve's bell cycles has them in black silver and gold (he's working on getting them in white but it might be a while). i found him through ebay, he doesn't have a website store setup, but find him on ebay (do a search on novatech hubs and he'll come up) and contact him. he's really cool and has better prices the ben's cycles.

I hope this does not move this thread in a different direction but I was wondering what everyone thought of Dia compe vs. DA high flange hubs. I have a rear DA hub right now and was debating in getting a front to match it or purchasing a new set of Black Dia Compes instead.
Your thoughts please.

Well, as we all know. DiaCompe is a tiny little newbie company that has no background, no skills and no capital.
Theyve clearly bought these hubs from the monster of all bike parts companies....FORMULA ULA ULA ULA!!

No trying to diss you "Almighty Deathhare" but Dia Compe has been around for years. They used to make everything. They had a big market in BMX stuff. It seems that all they make these days are hubs. Not sure why they downsized. Oh well, see ya in January in Savannah. Still on right?

I know DiaCompe well. They make all sorts of ****.
My point was that DiaCompe doesnt buy crap from people like Forumla and put their name on it. If anything, it would be the other way around.
And yeah...Jan is on.
