First Generation Dura-ace Cassette Hubs. They can be upgraded to 10 speed with the 7401 freehub body. NOTE- All the spokes go on the outside of the hub. Like a motorcycle, but the flange is machined so you can use the same J bend length. Motorcycles use two size J bends to get this setup. I have had these since the early 80's. About as old as Fairchilds GIOS.

a pair of these hubs hiding in a box somewhere in the garage. they were given to me by a dear friend. it's nice to know they can be switched to 10spd.

They are sweeeet!
They deserve some nice rims (sew-ups) and butted spokes, along with alloy nips.
I would use them if they can be updated to 10 speed.

Sheldon Brown told me that a Dura Ace 10 speed cassete will fit on a 7 speed free hub. Haven't tried it my selft though.

Those look like a great project for me if I could find a set. I love to put them in a set with Revos and Reflex rims.
