That’s an awesome tale about a hub! One of mine was used too - couldn’t say no, customer in the shop “upgrading” to save weight. It’s on a buddies bike now. I’ll admit I scroll the buy&sell once in a while to see who’s selling off their 26”/142 wheels. Boostinator kit, lace in a favourite rim; ride!
I’m sure you can track down a black one at the least. I question why you would because your hub has the kind of story bike parts rarely develop anymore with the patina to go with. I know the King R45 is becoming the de facto 135/142 King option but I’m certain they’ll support their legacy product - it’s King.
