Post by: SaMAlex on January 21, 2008, 10:45 PM: Ive got a pair of 7Cs. They are on a tatty JMC ive got. I anodised them dark grey to make them sort of match the Hutch hubs. They look OK, but I should have sanded out the deep marks in them a bit better before I got them anodised.

The earlier ( and rarer ) 7B's were the ones without the size , not many early sets around especially over here ! ;) .

I think my sets have the size on them .
