Interestingly, looking at the totalcycling website, I see they sell the Ambrosio Zenith rear hub in silver. Its a very nice looking rear hub that weighs in at 268g (w/o skewers), available in both Campy and Shimano freehub and apparently is the same as the Grand Bois rear hub that Jan Heine sells (and highly recommends):
