I believe that because of war time there was a lack of Torpedo hubs and there were some Swedish Novo hubs (as spare parts?) available in factory. And in these reasons the Novo hub was mounted to this bicycle.
And TEMPO is from 1939 or smth? And the other Saar models from this period have Torpedo and some the Saar (later Säde) hubs, haven`t seen Novo on other models?
