I'll toss in the last 0.1%. Too bad they are missing the wierd Hi-E slow releases. Perhaps not as bullet-proof as Phil, but rarer, rad-er, superliecht-er, and more of a time piece. I always liked the name because it reminded me of a kung fu movie: Hiiiiyeeee!

Sorry for the lame joke.

I'll have to check when I get home tonight, but those look like the Hi-E hubs I have built into a wheel set, which I believe to be early to mid 70's. However, mine have the Hi-E marking on the barrel. Does anyone know when that started?
