London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

I am offering for sale a pair of brand new Mack track hubs.

These were for a special project that never happened and are now for sale with <later > some other black finished top quality components.

They are 32 hole flip flop double fixed anodised black with the Swiss sealed bearings and deep set lock rings.

They are probably the best track hubs I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few).

Normally you email Mack in Poland wait 3 or 4 weeks for a reply, specify the hubs you want wait a few more weeks, then pay for them plus delivery then wait a few more weeks then they arrive and you are delighted with them and then have to decide if they are so beautiful you keep them on your desk or start to build them up.

Have a look at them here :

Well short cut all that and offer me £ 200 and I will post them off to you tomorrow
( or when the funds clear) if you want to offer me a bit less that's OK but it makes it harder to decide if they should move off my desk !

Please mail me if interested .

Regards Allister

£180 the pair?

dammit! i was gonna go one-fiddy to start......

I reckon you should keep them on your desk, drill the holes out a bit bigger and make yourself a wonderful desk-tidy.

them's sweet hubs, but too rich for my blood

why you selling?

£200 is well over the odds, I paid £260 for mine with ceramic bearings and world champ stripes.

Not whaling on you but if you want to earn money off people, eBay is that way >>>>>

oh man, those world champ stripes look the bees-bollocks, how long did it take to get them??

does seem high considering the companies pricelist, but impatience is a costly virtue...

A new Mack Wheelset sold on here for 220 not so long ago...

Took me 7 weeks from emailing him to receiving them.

Impatience is a costly virtue but it's offset against choice, why buy someone else's custom hubs?

true that.....do you want to sell me yours, hah;)

have you had them long? whats your view on them compared to maybe phils, suzue, etc? my interest is mainly road use at the moment, so i'm thinking they're a bit much. unless, of course 2nd hand ones happen to fit my budget.

They do look very pretty (talking about Dovvle's hubs here).

Sorry Allister but that's just bullshit.

He's busy alright and does not sit all day in front of the computer waiting to reply your emails but once you make the order and wait a bit, the hubs are ready on the day he tells you they will be and the shipping takes only couple of days.

Seconded, I emailed the guy looking for info and he got back to me the same day. In saying that, he did say there was a 10ish week turnaround for your custom hubs!

just got back in from work to see all the replies to my advert !


Some really good questions and observations, forums are great for discussion so here goes !

why you selling?

Full time job, new baby daughter, wife on maternity leave..... too many bike parts in the nursery, not enough cash in the bank....

Yep, you never really know what some thing is worth to some one else till you sell it,
I did say if you want to offer me a bit less that's OK I would just have to think about it a bit longer .... it's all in the control of the buyer really

I reckon you should keep them on your desk, drill the holes out a bit bigger and make yourself a wonderful desk-tidy.

I have a stripped large flange Campagnolo "Sherriff Star" polished rear hub shell that acts as a desk tidy already... no need to go overboard !

Nice to hear your experience was shorter and sweeter, I can only share the experience I had at the time which I thought was worth doing as the hubs are really nice and the exchange rate was poor .

Spot on ! Impatience is a costly virtue
These might be the only ones you can get in time for Christmas though....

I suppose the other part is although they are custom hubs, these ones are really not custom with 32 holes 120 / 100 mm spacing and double fixed, they are really a track standard in an excellent hub set.

Nice to have folks views though.

Would it be better to post item descriptions and ask folk what they think they are worth, or price them and invite near offers or is that too much like ebay ?

Best regards

Allister

beautifully put Allister

I paid 118 for mine brand new, low flange though.

OK , I will give you £80 for them if they are 28's and black.... what do you say ?

If youd have posted this a week ago id have snapped them right up... ill atleast buy one of them if theyre still kicking around in a month, which is highly unlikely since they are so gorgeous.

Thanks for all the interest ... and the discussion.

The Mack hubs have moved off my desk and have gone to a better place !

Regards Allister

a warmer place!
