In response to Mark Bulgier's question about GB hubs:
High probability that the hubs were made by Altenberger. The shape of the
QR lever is quite distinctive, as are the drillings in the flanges. Poor
drawing of the hub in the GB catalog but that QR lever is difficult to
confuse with anything else I've ever seen. And GB and Altenberger did have
something going together on brakes.
