What kind of track hubs have quick-releases and axle extensions for multi-cog freewheels?
Neat bit of Campy history, though.

why did they make the hi-lo hub for road use? I thouhgt the whole purpose of the hi-lo hub was for the high flange side to face outward, creating more support on the side of the wheel that is up track.
NOW, I am completely confused as to why these hubs exist in our universe.

drive side with high flange is "stiffer" while non-drive side is a little more forgiving.

I don't think these hubs are that rare. Not something you see everyday, but not super rare.

Ya as soon as I saw them Im thinking...wait.......wheres the lock ring go? also, track wheels have an even dish, why would they need one high flange.

aka mattio
They have even dish but they still have uneven forces on the wheels - drive side versus nondriveside. They also experience different stresses on the banking... maybe.

Not sure where you got the idea they were track hubs.
The Classic Rendezvous page you referenced is a Photoshop job, not a real hub. Hi/Lo *REAR* road hubs did exist (IIRC, Hi-E started the fad); Campy and Suzue made them for a couple years in the late 70s but people eventually lost interest in them.

^agreed. Money spent in the wrong place, like an ill-fitting frame, for one. Those cranks are being wasted.

wtf are you guys talking about? it's a cinelli track frame w/ campy track components. what's wrong w/ that?
As far as the fit goes, you have no idea whether that bike fits the owner or not. The saddle is high, but you can never tell how someone fits on a bike until yous ee them on it.
EDIT: I guess nothing can compete w/ this, though...
that's pretty sick...

That cinelli is a great build, all you haters don't know what you're talking about.
Also that ocean is boring in it's uniformity.

^^ a full, 100% NJS build never seemed that interesting in my opinion. expensive, but kinda boring
