Never even heard of it. You have any info on the brand?

Nuke Proof started out around 1992 as a component maker, they remain in business today. They made the best hub set I have ever owned back in 94/5 when they made the first carbon hubs that I had seen. The set weighed 280 grams less than XT and with the open weave carbon were hypnotic to watch go round.

They flirted with making their own frames and the unique front suspension in the nineties.

BTW, for anyone interested in vintage and classic mountain bikes, you might want to browse through MOMBAT: Museum of Mountain Bike Art & Technology:thumbsup:
