Default HRE catalog from 1996 - they don't make'm like this anymore *sighs* [pics]

I recently found an HRE catalog that I've had for quite some time. I really loved the HRE 525 and 526. IMO, they were one of the cleanest 5 spoke designs ever made. I really loved the flat profile on the centers of the older HRE's.

*sighs* Too bad no one makes a wheel like that anymore

Anyhow, here are the pics
