Oddly enough I have a single front hub that goes with that. Nashbar used to sell those in the 90s. I bought it on closeout for super cheap for some project that I can't remember at this point. Yeah, they are Ti and superlight. IIRC it was a Taiwan manufacturer. Perhaps it was the same one that makes those superlight hubs for "bikehubstore" and others today. (??)

Yeah it's synchronicity! They want to be a set of wheels, but not for me. I PM'd you if you want the hub.
Anyhow to directly answer the question, they are Nashbar hubs. Bullseye hubs were pretty big at the time and these are sort of a weight weenie copy of those.

Thanks for the info! Ti stuff is always fun. Posting another mystery in a few minutes.
I can't read a PM yet but I will get back to you in about 6 posts.
Everyone else, apologies for the extra bump on this thread.
