No clue but it looks pretty makeshift... i.e. like a prototype.
Looks rather wide, as well. What is the OLD?

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. (??)

Hey pretty awesome! Thanks Salamandrine.
Would you care to part with it or pick up this match? Seems like they ought to be together.

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.
