hi lew. its a later model penton/ktm wheel. the older full width hubs were prone to breakage. i haven't broken one of these conicals yet and i have at least 5 cracked full width front hubs.

If you ever decide to sell it give me a hollar, I'd like to have a 400 to go along with my 74 250.

Great looking bike!

That is a great looking bike and that front conical hub is Very Cool - I haven't seen that set-up on an earlier Penton/KTM. Nice job, CJ.

Hope you get every penny you're asking for - AND I hope you are elected as a Trustee (along with Fred Guidi!).

Sincerely,
