For Sale: Hi-E Engineering wheelset

     Offered for sale today is a real piece of home-spun Americana, in relation to cycling.  This is a Hi-e wheelset in practically NOS NEW condition. Hi-E engineering was the inverntion of Harlan Myers from the Nashville, Tennesse area in the 1970's. He is famous for his ultra lightweight hubs, home made rims, pedals, unconventional frame design and construction, cranks, and the list goes on! He was  a true original and had real brilliance in design (in my opinion). here is a link to the Classic Rendezvous with more info on him: Hi-E   also, here is a link to the MOMBAT website, who back in 2013 purchased all the remaining stock of Hi-E parts from Harlan Myers son: MOMBAT Hi-E
