I think thats a mountainbike hub that was designed to have some suspension, instead of using a fork. If you take it apart I think you will see its' setting on elastomers.

What the hell is that clamp thingy for...a disc mount? Or is that how you acess the elastomers that leapin's talking about? Maybe undo that clamp and the shell slides off sideways revealing a pair of elastomer rings pressed in there? idk.
Weird but intresting.

I really think that when the pinch is loosened the axle cartridge comes out as one piece.

It looks extra special garnished with those purty beads. Chris

The spoke holes look pretty big. I don't know, maybe a wheelchair hub?

I don't think it's a wheelchair hub...more moutain bike style.

Kooka perhaps....
Not many folks BITD doing machined Alu on hubs in the MTN bike realm.
Cool looking though.

Looks like it's setting on a mighty nice "rainbow" friendship necklace to me....
Maybe it fits on a Subaru?

I was gonna say "just go back to the shop and buy it if it's cheap enough" and then I figured out where you shot the photos...
