Pair of the rare quick-release Airlite hubs advertised on ebay. These were produced in both large and small-flange versions. The barrell of the front hub is a larger diameter to accommodate the thicker axle which is drilled for the QR.

The Altenburger gear was first produced in Germany, the home-country of Karl Altenburger after WWII after he had purchased the patent from the original designers.

It was sold in the UK as the GB Altenburger.

GB Components are back! (the initials stand for the founder Gerry Burgess) are known to vintage bicycle lovers, particularly the handlebars. Well, the company is now re-establishing itself under the ownership of the original founder's son (Jeremy Burgess), and the prototypes of their new, made in the UK components were modestly on display at Interbike.
