Nice score. Your lucky they are NOS. Used ones are a real lucky dip. The cones crack on the inside and you won't know until you go to regrease them or your wheel falls apart.
Nice one. :daumenhoch:

Didn't think they were metal hubs when I won them, but Gen 1 was what I started thinking once I saw them  :)

The hub on the rear was empty, I fitted the Suntour Coaster, so it could have been a freewheel  :-\
