Hi Robert.

There are two solutions in the current issue of Bicycle Quarterly. Grand Bois is now importing hubs, and while they are modern 130mm cassette, they are in the spirit of classic style (page 31).

http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com

The other idea is a company named Ticino which is now selling classic styled wheel sets (page 50). There's no mention of them selling the hubs separately. Having ridden both freewheel and freehub rear hubs I have taken a liking the improvements of the new designs, and now we can have the new designs and the old look if we choose.
