Front hub axle set _ Maillard, Normandy, Atom
I couldn't resist buying a couple of these when I noticed a small auction lot on eBay. New-Old-Stock condition. These were used on inexpensive French hubs during the 1960s and 1970s, - NOT the better quality Normandy "Competition" or later Maillard "700" or "Professional" hubs of that period. So these were likely the hollow axles of quick-release hubs found on many mid-range Schwinn and Raleigh bikes as well as most French bikes imported during the American Bike Boom of the 1970s.
