I would either find an 8sp hub* or wheel (doesn't have to be Chorus, could be Record or Athena,
etc), or sell the cassettes.

* used or from www.parker-international.co.uk/components.htm - hubs (I don't know if any US
suppliers have any left?)

Doesn't have to be 10sp. New up-to-date 9sp Campag equipment is still available, and the hubs take
both 9 and 10 speed cassettes.

Well, in 1998 Chorus was 9s, 1997 as well...1996 was the last year for Chorus as 8s-I have a new
Chorus 8s hub-32 hole.

Campagnolo still makes 8s cassettes, BTW-
