No Pro Class rims on Motobecane. for FRENCH export maillard hubs with PRO CLASS rims are on the Mongoose French version. Nice hubs with original systm of freewheels. Nice but fragile.

Here's a pic of those Maillard hubs.  They are pretty cool old school hubs but I wanted to use high flange hubs on my Pro Class rims so I doubt I'll do anything with them.  I think I'll put them on eBay and maybe some Frenchman will have a bid on them.  The Pro Class rims came out nice too (they haven't been trued yet, though) but the dull weather doesn't make for great pics :daumenhoch:









Pro Class





I recently bought an '86 Mongoose Expert and rescued these parts from it.  The stem and clamp were originally anodised, black but it had faded to a goldie colour.  The pedals had various scuffs and scrapes but they buffed out nicely 8)    Still got the f+f, bars and post, I might try to trade it for something else :-\



Also polished the alloy hubs from a set of Zytecs.  Often regarded as Skyways poor cousin but I think they're a nice old school mag.  A nice shade of red, too - not like those new red Skyways, the colour seems really dark to me :-\  They came out pretty nice, too :coolsmiley:



Okay, enough with the show and tell ;D

Bling  :coolsmiley: what equipment do you use to polish like that or do you do them by hand ?

PM sent, CrazyCraig :daumenhoch:
