Is that $2800 price confirmed? Anyhow, the Velo Orange hubs are probably very similar, and who knows, they may even be made by Dia Compe. But searching for Dia Compe hubs turned up what looks to me like the same exact hubs that are shown on the Bianchi.

Do you think they are they the "Grand Cru Touring" hubs sold by Velo Orange?
All the offerings sold at retail today seem so chunky and expensive, those included. It would be so nice to get something like the 600EX high flange hubs, something that looked NR-ish but took modern cassettes.
