Well the hub part anyway, and I am excited to have them…
Was tidying up the work bench earlier today and realized that I had quite a few hubs laying on it waiting for someone to verify dimensions so spokes can be ordered….wonder who that would be?
Hard photo op to miss out on ![]()

These are the hubs laying on the bench. Sturmey Archer vintage, Sturmey Archer new and Shimano. One pair of the vintage hubs are getting laced onto a set of CR-18 alloy rims to go on my Raleigh Superbe for everyday riding. The original steel rims have a kink and hop that I cannot get out, but I want to save the wheels for shows. Another of the vintage hubs is for my wife’s Colt, she is getting a dyno hub on it. The newer SA hubs are for the Raleigh Record build, that one is getting the CR-18 rims also. The Shimano hubs are just there for the moment, both are 8 speeds, one interestingly enough is coaster brake.

SA P0rn!
Shimano not so much.
I know what you mean, hard to beat that shiny SA Chrome, especially on the vintage hubs. The Shimano are a necessary evil. One is a the hard to source 8sp coaster, which will end up in one of my city bikes, probably the full sized folder.
