If anybody ordered the VO Model 8 sprung in black and decides they don't
want it, I will be happy to buy it. I saw the sale, snoozed for a day, they
are now out of stock. By the way, does anyone have a theory on whether to
put the saddle treatment on the bottom of these? I do it on all my
My stuff arrived today (a few days early!) & I have to say I have ordered
things from VO in the past and maybe I've forgotten, but I was really
impressed with how well everything was put together! The leather on the saddles
is THICK and I don't think I will have to worry about them wearing out
I got 2 saddles, the rear hub & a chain guard. It's hard to find a good
non-disk hub these days & I have a build I can use it on. Did not get a front,
because I am strictly dynamo for fronts these days. I am kinda OK with the
saddles being a little hard to break in, I was more worried they
gotcha, i've seen framesets, cranks, and stuff on there before that weren't
discontinued. maybe the hubs are on sale because of sales and not because
of quality? i never bit on those hubs, only because they were 4x the cost
of a shimano 105 hub.

I think just the hi-lo hub. I don't think I can recall a product that was
put in 'Specials' that wasn't discontinued.

You had me worried for a moment, but I don't think these items are being
discontinued - just trying to generate some sales on slow movers or get
rid of overstock
I agree - I have a B17 clone and had to due Swallow butcher job on it to
get it comfy, that after doing the water-soak and ride method to break it
in.
I was tempted by the lo-hi hub, but figured if VO is discontinuing it,
there's probably a reason why - I don't want to find out what that reason
I jumped on one of those VO saddles a couple years ago for $50. It looked so
nice I had to try it. The leather was very stiff. I was never able to get it
to break in so I gave it away.

Thanks for the heads up.
Nice deals for sure on some of that stuff.
If the rear hub didn't need a spacer for 7 speed I woulda bought it.
I also like that it can be taken apart with no tools.
4 bearings, three pawls. Sounds nice.
50$ for a leather sprung saddle??? Nice. Honey. Skived, sprung,
