I'm looking for a pair of hubs for my modern/retro wheel build, they will be mated to a pair of polished Mavic MA2 rims.
Criteria:-

Polished/silver body
36H
Campagnolo 10sp freehub
Reasonable price

I have been looking at the Ambrosio Zenith hubs, reviews on these & further suggestions would be great.

    Miche Racing Box hubs come immediately to mind.

    Novatec A171/F172 (or ambrosio Zenith for a bit of a markup) and Miche. The Miche racing box hubs though have red skewers which limits there appeal. When people want silver hubs I normally reach for the novatec box. The novatec hub are polished silver and good hubs really for what they are. I only like the miche more because of the bearing preload adjusters and the bearings seem a bit more reliable but bearings can be changed.

    Thanks, the novatec look good without any branding. I may stump for a pair of them.
