"Hi all Missed out on J McCoin's Durkopp wheel set. If anyone has a pair of Durkopp HF trackhubs or a Durkopp hub wheelset, that you won't be using or could spare, I'd appreciate hearing from you. I have a complete Durkopp frameset but no hubs to complete it. I'd like to get it completed for Chuck Schmidt's Velo Rendezvous in October. Thanks."
I can see that there is a deep and mostly unspoken need among list members for Durkopp hubs. Having also missed out on Jim's (and congrats to the quick-fingered lister who got them), let me just say that I want dibs on the ones after Ted's!
I have a Durkopp project stalled for want of a wheelset. Actually, I have a chrome front hub so if anyone has a lonely chrome rear that would do also. I've been quietly asking around for some time, and I can see I should have been louder about it. I would have paid substantially more than Jim's asking price and driven to his house with the cash!
