Chuck, Easy there big fella,,,, I'm slumming here so I'm interested in any suggestions,,, and after all, the theme this yr. is drillium,,, so my 24from 36 hole hubs would have a few extra holes in them,,, more is better, no?And Jerry, I used campagnolo hubs, and Hi-e hubs on my TT bikes at one time or another,, both worked, and both are "time line" for this project,,, and hey, I'm desparate here!Peter WeigleLyme Ct.ps, while diggiong for things I found an extra Hi-E special spoke wrench,,,, If anyone has Harlan's rims and needs the wrench for them, its yours free,, off list please. What I find interesting is that Peter makes the quantum leap from Campy to Hi-E. I consider Hi-E stuff really cool, but to jump from "the standard" to the really idiosyncratic as the next choice is quite interesting.
Regards,
Jerry Moos Big Spring, TX

Just an offhand comment here Sheldon... Good info for future use, but after seeing the quality of work and the high aesthetics that Peter W. brings to his bike builds I don't think he is looking for a "kluge" solution?
