T Tallpaul Gold Trader Mar 15, 2007 #1 Anyone got any idea when this hub was made? It's possibly not retro but it ain't new either. Cheers
S stevet1 BoTM Winner Gold Trader Feedback View Mar 15, 2007 #2 I've got one of them, has it got a grease nipple in it as well? I think they might actually still make them, but I bough mine in about 1996/7

T Tallpaul Gold Trader Mar 15, 2007 #5 £21 plus postage :roll: Not cheap, but i think that hub was fairly dear when new?
S stevet1 BoTM Winner Gold Trader Feedback View Mar 15, 2007 #6 £21 sounds pretty good to me for a nice wheel like that. Can't remember how much I paid new but probs over £50 for the hub.

T Tallpaul Gold Trader Mar 15, 2007 #7 Well, the main reason i got it was 'cos the rim matches the back one on the Kona. That has an M737 hub and i was hoping that the Middleburn hub was from roughly the same year as the XT one (1994?).
