I've actually got a set of Dura-Ace hubs laced to tubular Mavic rims. I bought them with the intent of swapping the freehubs from 6/7sp to 8/9sp and buying some nice tubular tires for the ultimate ride. Unfortunately more research showed that the 8/9sp freehub for this particular year of Dura-Ace is difficult to find.

This is my goal. I'm looking to have a nice, smooth, enjoyable ride on nice days when I feel like going for a decent ride and the MTB trails are too wet.
