fixed skip hub???

[beatcad]

i grabbed this from ebay. the seller listed it as a track hub but i dunno. i think it's just an old hub,you know, befor coaster brakes were invented.
i cant find any markings, well maybe one little stamped O or C
i really dont know what i'm gonna do w/ it but i do want to put it on something
any thoughts on what it is.

that's really cool. Worthy of building a whole bicycle around it.

Does the cog look like it's been welded in place?

 

[beatcad]

nope. it's screwed on and held on w/ a lockring

Sensor built one of the coolest bikes ever with a similar hub.

Thanks Skipton. :mrgreen:
Mine was a New Departure hub.Yours looks quite different than mine. I'm guessing it's either a lot older or a different make. Wish I could help more but for now I can't. When I get some free time I'll try to do some digging and see if I can find anything out since I also want to know what you have!
