Foma 100 really comes through in Rodinal.

Yeah but there is a price to pay in terms of extra weight if you're the type who counts every gram of mass they put on their bicycle. I've been riding around on a frame that didn't fit me well for long time. And the year I finally decide to get a different size frame I run into this covid shortage mess. I couldn't resist adding some bling with the wheel assemblies and headset bearings.

Wow. No kidding. I think your hubs cost more than my last bike (though that was in 2012)

Yeah, you're right, what a terrible purchase decision. I got ripped off.

Who knows... they photograph well

And they may bring you joy...
I'd be really proud to lace up some nice hubs like that onto my bike.

My road bike is a 20 year old Schwinn.
I'm not a racer, just a fat guy who likes to ride bicycles, but I can blow spokes like a true professional.
I got tired of going on a long ride and spending time at a sag stop spokes put on (I carried spares in the seat tube).

So I had a new wheel built for my Schwinn. Cost a third of what the entire bike had.
But now the rear end has 36 spokes, and I've not popped a spoke since.

As a bonus, the original wheel is now on a Motobecane Mirage "frankenbike"

OK, I finally found a (terrible) film photo of my last wheel...
The bike in the foreground is an "Auto Moto", made in Guatemala, found at a yard sale with rusty steel wheels. Vintage early 1980s. I built the rear wheel with an aluminum rim I had and the original hub.
The bike behind it is my "regular" bike, a flat-bar commuter-style road bike. After doing the new wheel on the Schwinn, I had a new one made for this one, too...

My bike is an old-school steel frame. You can still get them. From the hubs you can see no disk brake provisions on them and the now the old style 10mm Quick Release hubs too. But the bike has a high-end crank, drive train and hubs. I was going to upgrade to a disk brake version of my frame but I wouldn't get it until the end of the year. So stayed with less popular rim brake version I have now ( a Surly Cross Check).

Finding new 36 spoke hubs and rims is getting more rare. If you can pop a spoke from a 32 hole rim, 3-cross lace using 2mm constant diameter stainless steel spokes with brass nipple construction, I'd be impressed.
