Very unusual but rather clever

same here, I've had some custom axle jobs made before on Hadley hubs to fit various bonkers frame combos (think ellsworth with 20mm REAR bolt through steeped down to 14mm.. )
was probably someone who worked/knew a machine shop and decided to convert rather than buy a new hub.
I've been toying with the idea of similar on Pro2s recently, swapping for bigger internal diameter bearings, to enlarge the axle diameter and drill off-centre to try and make an eccentric SS axle similar to how the WI ENO hub works.

I did have a chat to one of the Hope chaps about it.But that was around the time i got it.Thank the lbs for handing me the phone with hope on the end
He said there was a lot on the go back then.Some made it to production some didn't.But couldn't or wouldn't say if it was a prototype or no :? I can hardly expect all the staff to know everything.
The hub is part of my red set and i still have the axle/bearings,not sure what to do with it,its not good for anything else and i cant think why anyone would have a ti-glide on anything with a 12mm bolt through back end :? aye on a bulb or big un if DH is the intended.
