Also appeared as Peugeot Trophy and Spidel. Top quality French hubs. The spacing could get weird. The front hubs often measured less than the standard 100mm. The 120mm (5-speed) rears often measured out 124mm. Gotta love the French. Weight given is both hubs with skewers
EDIT: Some additional information. While pursuing another issue, I learned from an informed CR lister why the rear hubs were spaced 124mm for the "standard" five speed hub. It seems that in combination with certain frames, some brands of 5-speed freewheels simply would not fit. So many French builders compensated by spacing the rear at 122mm and spacing the hub to 124mm. A simple, elegant solution. Gotta love the French still applies.
