My guess are Chris King. http://chrisking.com/hubs/hbs_sspeed_disc
Cool looking but pricey. http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping ... p?id=20153
That Kona a fav bike of mine. On the Short(very long) list of bikes to own someday.
Not sure how you knew that I would know. Too much time on the interwebs I guess.

Those are definitely not newer Chris King hubs, the discs on the hubs use a non-ISO mounting, not even like their universal disc mount hubs. Calipers look maybe like older hydraulics. I've seen the hubs before, the way the spoke are attached on the disc side flange is different also, can't think of it off hand though. Possibly an early I9 hub.
Don't see many of those model Konas over here really.
Definitely looks like a version of the Hope Biguns, used a brake therapy adapter to mount the rear caliper, must've been some hacking there to make that work unless the early versions of those supported non-iso mount calipers.

Nifty Hubs...Probably too expensive for me though
They are Hope Big Un's, i use em on all my builds. Those in that picture are MkI's with the larger centre section. Shame they stopped making them, i got the last pair ever to come out of the factory on my latest build. It's a shame but their new spools are 6 bolt so you can fit their 'oh, so' lovely vented rotor Mmmmm. Just a thought but them hubs are all over the place over here and going for peanuts now so you may want to try the UK E-Bay.
