I don't know of any mass produced hubs but i know at least one chap who made his own hubs, very similar to gsport/bullseye. Made in a shed in the 90's and still in use!

Yeah - I think the King axle upgrade kits (at least the metal collars) were UK made.

Will have a look at if Missions were made here  :daumenhoch: . Know the 70's ones were made abroad (them ones that looked a lot like the second gen Gacks).

Yeah, Rekkas were ace (well, all of the UK ones were ace).

Picky of a rear Rekka axle for awesomeness. 16mm of awesomeness  :daumenhoch:

Thems the ones. Crazy expensive weren't they?

Those hubs are nice Ben - they got grub screws in the collars rather than press-fit collars?
