Yes.
I remember going there when a young teenager to buy cheap riser bars that hadn't been anodised completely.

It says 'Metal Matrix'.

X lite (and raleigh) used MM in their products. :)

Interesting, so either Hope made this hub or someone took apart two hubs and made this?

I grew up a couple of miles from their factory at Branksome. I was an apprentice engineer at the time, so used to go up there and marvel at what was coming off of the machines. Such a shame that it all went wrong, as I'm sure there is still a market for the kind of things they made
