CAMPAG 32/40 HI FLANGE HUBS WITH MA2 WIRE-ON RIMS

These are not built up, but the hubs and rims come complete with a set plain gauge stainless spokes and nipples. Hubs have been stripped and cleaned and have no enlarged spoke holes, buckling or cracking. Locknuts dated 1970. The only apparent fault is gouging which would be hidden by the freewheel block, so no real problem. Straight qrs with good chrome. The rims are clean and fine but the MA2 labels are faded. 100 dollars plus post. I accept credit cards. Due to a hideous mistake on my part, these are in San Franciso, so the cost of carriage to a US member will be much cheaper and than if from the UK! I have jpegs which I can email.

FB 32/40 LO FLANGE TRACK HUBS WITH FIAMME SPRINTS

I didn't get that wrong - these are rare steel lo-flange track hubs, with fixed threadings on both sides of the rear hub 110 mm over the locknuts. These were mid 1950s time trialling wheels which I was told were the owner's specials and therefore spent much of their time hanging in the owner's garage covered in preserving grease. Now cleaned, the chrome on the hubs is immaculate. I stripped the bearings and everything on the inside seems as clean as on the outside. They are built with rustless spokes (not stainless or chrome spokes) and even these cleaned up perfectly. Rims have lost their labels and the front has a small dent at one point (not on the braking surface) but otherwise these are in superb condition. I have a number of fixed sprockets that I can supply, but only one lockring which will fit the threading. Again I can mail jpegs. 120 dollars plus post from the UK. (Normally not more than 50 dollars)

I notice that Hilary has stopped mentioning the weather here in the UK - I'm not surprised. Mid March and sleet!

Due to a horrific blunder on my part these are not in the UK but in San Francisco, so if bought by a US the cost of post will be
