These things are strangely beautiful, in an industrial sort of way.

Beautiful! If you could string it up 650b that would be so cool! I looked at your frame- a Royal Enfield! My mom’s old boyfriend had a mid 60’s Interceptor 750 motorcycle in his living room. It was a restoration project at the time.
Kind of obsessed with bicycles built by motorcycle and firearm manufacturers. So cool!

You’ll need itty bitty washers at the spoke knuckles; SA flanges are a lot narrower than most, and modern spokes won’t seat properly without them.

How do you connect the shifter cable to that, any references per chance?

Have a ’59. Works great so long as the shifter wire is at the exact right tension.

These hubs always make me smile. When I was a mechanic, I’d grab any bike that came in the door with one of these. I’m quite familiar with lacing and building wheels around saved/salvaged SA hubs. Have fun! I’m jealous.

Love them but no one works on them around me
