I suppose these are the very rare early version, but I find this selling price remarkable. I know, I know, it's Ebay and all, but given the essentially useless images and the reputation that these hubs have for failures (stripping splines?) why would people bid so aggressively? I suppose the bidders may have had more info than was on the auction.
Another thing: did bi-valents ever actually get used for actual racing? Bivalents and M-71's are both groovy examples of Cinelli innovation that never really caught on. I wasn't riding in the early 70's but aren't these both items that were used by the tech-weeines of that day, items that never found favor among racers?
