Group---- I was under the impression (read: I don't KNOW!) that FB was a French company. I heard that they made the early 3-piece Campag hubs, and eventually, Campag bought them out, continuing to make both brands. I also have a set of "Simplex" marked hubs that are exactly like the three piece FB's and Campag's of the era......so I have always assumed that they made hubs for anybody? Are the Gnutti hubs any different, or did FB make them also? Who really knows? Cheers --- Nelson Miller--- Seattle

Huh???? Gosh, I guess anything is possible. A French company founded by an Italian expatriate with their factory in Italy?
Who knew...
