I'm not sure if your comment means nothing below XT, and more boutique? Or the opposite. So I'll just throw in to the ring that I've got a set of LX front and rear hubs, and the odd spare rear hub here and there.
Re:
Not strictly retro, but I've been sitting on s set of hope non disc hubs for a while as I had intended building them up with some nos mavic 717 rims. I'm happy to hang on to them as they are likely to come in handy one day, but might sell.as I need to reduce the spares stash.
Let me know if you are interested. They are in great shape, I serviced them when I got them, replaced bearings fromt and rear and cleaned and greased everything. They've sat bubble wrapped in a box ever since. I have the adapter for 135mm rear spacing as well (new in packet).

Pics below. They are hope rs3. 32h. Qr. Shimano freehub fitting. 135mm adapter is new in packet. All bearings have been replaced and ive not used the hubs since replacing them and also servicing the freehub so everything is buttery smooth and the freehub clicks and stops as you'd expect from hope, nice and positive and loud.
They have been laced so there is evidence of this, and being super critucal, the rear is unmarked aside from this, the front has a tiny scratch on the main body (pictured). The freehub body has a few marks towards the front, but nothing that impacts the cassette fitting snugly as it should.
Personally I think these hubs are awesome. Retro looking, non-disc and come with all the benefits of being modern and made by hope so you know they are quality and spares are available.
I'm not desperate to part with them as I have some nos 717 rims to build them with, but I've not got any builds planned that these would suit, so could let them go.
