Hey Ive got one of those hubs. Ultralight and pretty rare. Its on a 560gram front wheel. Im a bit scared to use it. Mine is the updated version with the spacers over the axle. They are from around 95-96. If anyone is interested Id sell the wheel for cheap.
floibex,
those are the bad-aßest brakes i have ever seen in my life.
i know this is a very long shot indeed...but any chance you might know anyone else with a set of those brakes? i am dying to try one out, and would be willing to trade stuff, too.
in the thoroughly unlikely case you have the slightest interest in either cash or a swap, email me at stFFim@ufl.edu. (remove the caps)

uphiller, don't do this!
and if you do it, don't tell it to me I will feel guilty 'till the end of my days
maybe we should organize a "battle for brakes" at the us/canadian border, in the middle of lake superior when the ice had gone, on singelspeed driven watercrafts, gearing 0,5:2 ...
my offer was rejected and since the seller wants more than the wholesale was on the things brand new a decade ago (I was a westpine dealer), I'm not interested in 'em.
I have had a set of these Hershey cranks on one of my bikes for about 10 years, they have taken a lot of abuse and still look good.
Also have various brakes and hubs on some of my bikes too. The guy that owned Hershey, Greg Gutierrez, was a friend from the LBS in So Cal whan I lived there. His background included bikes and tool-making, a good combination for someone in the CNC chi-chi business. He also did a lot of design and manufacturing work for other bike and component companies.
Hey "TheBronze", I have two pair of Caramba Double Barrels if you are serious...
I have a pair of red ones w/ silver spider and a blue pair with green spider (the red ones are only good for single ring, though, as the spider is off by a little bit - the blue and green ones are good for all three rings). Let me know if you are really interested in a pair, you can email me directly through here (or anyone else that has to have a pair!). I'd be interested in trades as well.
By the way, I'm an old-schooler in terms of being on this board - I was Big Daddy from way back in '99, but for some reason I cannot sign on anymore (new-fangled forums must've screwed things up for me!).
