Up for sale is one of the absolute ultimate prizes of early 1990s weight-weenie and triathlon history: a matching front and rear set of genuine, vintage Zipp Ballistic hubs. Released between 1992 and 1993, this was Zipp's very first dedicated standalone hub design. They are legendary among vintage collectors for their distinctive large-diameter woven carbon fiber center sleeves and striking gold-anodized flanges.
Finding a matching pair of these in uncracked, functional condition is exceptionally rare today. They make a breathtaking center piece for a period-correct early 90s retro road, time-trial, or show-bike restoration.
