The issue I see with this route is that the hubs may not be the best aesthetic match, even after removing the black anodizing.
That is a really interesting idea. Is there a single speed free hub body that one could put on a hub made for a 7- 8- 9- or 10- speed freehub? That would be really cool. I bet it doesn't exist, though.
