Folks:
I have recently acquired a ca. 1963 Raleigh Gran Sport that is fitted with Racelite hubs. A search of the CR site (using that fine new search engine; thanks Dale) indicates that Racelite hubs were a Milremo product. Anyone know where (who) fabricated these hubs? Information on their level of quality and durability would also be appreciated.
Here is a link to the completed auction for the bike:
Note the red anodized lever on one of the GB Superhood Rapide brake levers. I have a hard time believing that it "wore off" the other one and think that the red one may been a replacement for the original.
Thanks, Charlie Young Honeybrook, PA
p.s. I plan to keep it intact despite the disparity in the quality of the components relative to the frame...This one surely seems to be a case of the individual component values vastly outstripping the cost of the complete bike.
