Title: Early Hoffman Treat...
Post by: Stodgy on September 26, 2008, 02:51 PM

Had this hub for a couple of years now and just got round to restoring it and lacing it in to a rim.

Gotta love it. Just got to find a front to match now...

I had two other sets of the later generation ones, the Gack Girthy Hubs, on my EK and Green Condor.

I've also got an orphan front Girthy in silver...it just runs & runs...
