Show off your pretty hubs
Inspired by the recent Large Flange vs. Small Flange thread. Show some pics of your good looking hubs. Have a couple sets of these on wheels, but these are prettier.

Acquired during my let's build another Single Speed, or even (shudder) Fixed Gear, days, this set of little used vintage hubs can accommodate both. Problem is, I no longer build up Single Speeds or FG, being too busy with restoration projects, not all of which are road bicycle related...
Still, it would be a nice hub set for something a bit different.

I traded an iPod touch for them. Found the iPod while out on a ride last summer.

I'm not sure how Phil's manage to be so chunky, yet so beautiful and refined.

incazzare.
Echoing Rootboy's post above, I really like Campagnolo "Nuovo Tipo" (yes, I know what it means) hubs. Here's a photo of the front hub of a set I built with Fiamme rims.

Here's two of my favorites:
28H Stronglight Delta hubs. Ive never seen another set since I found and got these about two years ago
I built them up already with Wolber Profil 20 rims and DT Aerolite oval spokes and they are my favorite wheelset at the moment. very smooth running and the Wolber aero rims made for a very stiff, strong wheelset.
28H Pelissier 2000 Professionel. There's just something about Pelissiers that make them more classy than your usual French hubs. Most likely my next wheel build with my Wolber Aspin rims and DT DB Stainless spokes.
