I've seen that hub before, somewhere, but cannot recall. But no matter. What you have there is a black hub laced to a black rim with black spokes; but if the wheel is true and all, and the coloration doesn't bother you too much, I wouldn't do anything rash. I mean, it's not the prettiest thing I've ever seen, but how bad could it be? Overhaul it. Use the same bearings in new grease, adjust it right, and it'll be as good as, oh, I don't know, 99% of the hubs out there.
