coaster brake hubs?

Would like to build a "clean" S.S. Any 135mm coaster brake hubs out there that you would recommend that could handle an epic w/out alot of sustained down hill riding? Appreciate any suggestions.

Use the older redline frames, already the right width for a regular coaster hub. You will waste your time and money on another build because coaster hubs suck all-around.

Not quite true.

Old Sachs Torpedo hubs were excellent. I know, I have used.
Some of them can be found from aftermarket sales.
