Another wheel day (and so on).
A customer left me a hub from a brand called GRAND BOIS (グランボア).
If you look at this and think "Ah, that pom-pom end fixed to the hub shaft with a grub screw is commonly seen on Joytech/Novatech-type front hubs, and the knurled ring pressed into the end, the anodized color aluminum hub shaft same as PowerTap hubs, the freewheel body with the same surface treatment as TNI hubs—all of it screams Novatech-type hub characteristics," then you're pretty deep in the rabbit hole.
Well, to be more precise, it's equivalent to Tradizione's "Classic Hub," and even the included quick release is the same.
"Classic" is exactly how it appears on the manufacturer's website, just so you know.
There are spare freebodies labeled "for Classic Hub," but if there's a different "Classic" hub that those fit, then they might not work with the Classic hub.
Built it with an Ambrosio Formula Chrono 20 rim.
32H CX-RAY with Italian (half-cross) lacing.
As for the rear wheel, I had the time to build it, but I forgot to ask whether they wanted semi-comp or full CX-RAY lacing, so I couldn't build it.
As a result, this post ended up with more strikethrough text than regular text.
