Can you identify this Hope hub for me....?

[LikeClockwork]

Had this wheel a while and trying to decide whether I will ever use it, but actually I've no idea which Hope hub this is! Presumably an early one as the disc mount (is that even what the holes are for?) is pretty archaic looking!

Any help appreciated, may help me decide it's fate too....

One of the first Hope BULB hubs by the looks of it.

Re:

Aha! Thanks. What sort of era is it then, maybe it will suit the next build after all...

Re:

Silver Lockring comes off and disc mount fits onto the splines behind it. Then lockring keeps it in place.
It's a similar hub as the ones with the titanium centre, but without the titanium centre.
Looks like a titanium freehub?

Re:

Oooh, cool! I won't be using it with a disc anyway so I'm not that bothered. Could well be Ti freehub I suppose, it's back in the workshop now so can't check, but the whole thing is light considering it's mated up to a D521 rim.

Thanks!

The Mono and the XC are the TiGlide replacements.
The Bulb is a beefier style, with a different freehub fixing.
Bulb was aimed at DH/Dual Slalom at the time iirc.
