Underworld Front Hub?

[walleater]

Does anyone know anything about this company? It came of a Balfa Bobonum which unfortunately got shipped of to South Africa (complete with shopping basket....). However the front wheel was wrecked and we replaced it. I kept the hub..... I can't find any info anywhere, and while it could be some generic thing, the rest of the bike was XTR etc and it does have some nice laser etching or similar:

I seem to recall they were Canadian? And a Bobo with a basket. That's a larf.

I'm guessing they were. The only mention of them is a headset on an old Balfa on a Pinkbike sale, and someone being sponsored by Balfa / Underworld on an old result sheet.

I wish I wasn't so honest or I could have had a free Balfa....Someone was shipping out all the belongings of a family that were moving to Africa. She didn't know one end of a bike from another and the family were already half way around the world. One of the cheap bikes was genuinely broken and was left behind. I just didn't have the front to say that the Balfa with a shopping basket wasn't broken too! :roll:
