A little something i picked up and will be adding to my collection.

A Ti-Glide and Suspension cut-away display hubs.
Looking forward to these arriving


UPDATE

Arrived this very morn and are lovely indeed.
It's great finding these incidental items deffo company display for a shop, not home done as i though. And for what they cost I could get back on the internals, but for me theyre a nice addition.

Maybe have to do a display cabinet now :?

This was a happy discovery in a pile of old magazines recently acquired (many thanks gradeAfailure) - scanned from Mountain Biking USA - January 1994.

 

[Si_33]

From Mountain Bike Action, September 1992. I'm guessing not long after Hope set up their USA distributor?

I've been meaning to add this here for a while. An early 90s Hope hub for the first type six-bolt disc which was donated to a bike co-op in Bristol.

Edit; I"m posting this for reference after chatting to the owner. Figured it warranted going in this thread.

Here is the link to the thread in Retro MTB Chat - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=355136&p=2648437#p2648437

Awesome! Is the bolt pattern the same size as the modern 6 bolt pattern Si?

 

[dyna-ti]

No. Different pattern. Larger bcd i think.
I should have a couple of spare spiders for this, though not the rotors, youll need to buzz Hope for them.

I might have a spider adaptor to fit that. I'll need to check. Might be the goldtec version but goes from 6bolt to Hope 5.

I'm not sure Roly I didn't see the hub in the flesh. I just thought it would be good to add the photos to this thread. Is it similar to yours?
