looking for a special front hub

I'm thinking of building a front wheel over the winter. The problem will be the hub - it is disc brake and the dropouts are 80mm. Anybody know of a source? Preferable 24-28 spoke, black? It'll have a 20" rim, so high spoke count not necessary in spite of the disc brake.

Nope, never heard of a disc hub at 80mm spacing. Some annoying folding bikes use the mini spacing phenomenon, I have yet to see one with provision for a disc rotor.

Check with companies like Bike Friday, or Dahon.
