Hubs

I am putting some wheels together for my Haro Mirra 540 (cheers again twobobrob), I know its 2000ish, so isn't probably `proper' mid school, but by christ, its heavy enough, so here its staying!!!.
I have some BFR rims (36h) which are heavy enough, and only cost 99p, so they are going on this budget build.
But what hubs, I want shiney, probably heavy, but 36h, were there any around in the 90's with 36 holes?
I don't really want to go for suzue/shimmy. 10mm or 14 are good on this bike.
Ideas please gents

There's quite a few hubs you could get - Primo SOB's, Prolites (think BMXCty still have these), Seventies hubs, Demolitions etc

Mmmm, prolites, have a pair of sealed 36h 14mm left/right drive ones on my new school ride, that'd solve a problem and cause one, need some new school hubs!!
what came as shiney shiney, the prolites are black, but could be stripped.

through the mid era many racers still used the suzue/suntour hubs from the olden school,
nicely made, strong light weight hubs,
profile made an ss 36 hub set,
shimano made their dx cassette hubs,
g-sport made the "dirt" hubs in 36,
webco made gorgeous female thread hubs,
tnt made and still make some very nice 36h's, the derringer and peacemaker i think they called them,
any of those would make a nice pair of wheels.
the bfr's were good rims, fook ugly but strong and not overly heavy, i still run one on the back of my bike tbh,
build them into a pair of prolites et al and i'd turn my nose up, put a pair of suzue's in there and you've got a credible wheel set,

Schwinn did some very nice hubs in the 90's, my favourites are the Six Shooter hubs that I had on my Hawk..
