Think outside the box with hubs, you can use any kind of 36h hub from bitd, such as racing bike or track hubs.  You will have to convert the axles from Q/R to solid (track) axle.

Look for names such as Normandy, Maillard, Sansin or Sunshine, Resilion, Sturmey Archer, Airlite etc etc.

I love hubs, they are my favourite part of a build.

Exactly as Sean says, also try some early Schwinn's. I think I might have a spare front Campy record hub  :daumenhoch:

Interested in the record hub mate :daumenhoch:, lost out on a pair yesterday, although, will it be hard to find a rear one?
