3) 7 speed Deore 650 freehub that is a takeoff from my 1991 Miyata 1000.

Interestingly -- to me at least -- is that all three hubs are identical in terms of flange width and spoke hole layout. I'll have to juxtapose axles and space etc but that's another conversaion.

My preferred hub is the Deore 650. It's beautiful, in excellent shape, and of high quality I believe. It'll be a bit weird to have a mountain bike hub on a skinny road bike wheel but I'm cool with that. It doesn't actually look all that much more heavy duty than the 105 hubs.
