This Space for Rent

Shiny!

schwinn_freewheel_hub

I disassembled the rear wheel from last night’s salvage discovery and, after cleaning up (and repacking – there was absolutely no grease left in the drive side bearing race) and polishing I ended up with this nice old french 36 hole hub, which I can, in my copious spare time, lace into one of the salvaged 700c rims I’ve got lying around in the basement.

Maybe I could build it up as a 3 or 4 speed rear wheel(12/16/21/26, maybe?) or embrace my inner nerd and build it up as a fixed gear hub.
