The high flange C-record road hubs are getting tough to find and for the price of the last few used sets i have seen sell on ebay one could buy 2 or 3 sets of NOS small flange versions. The high flange track version aren't readily available anymore either - lots of places list them but few actually have sets.

The below link has 32 hole road versions offered - $300+ before shipping (ouch!!) but are NOS. I havent bought anything off the vendor but there is some nice (albeit top priced) swag there as well including a very cool looking tandem which is kinda fairly priced if you could somehow ride it home on a *very* low tide.

Interestingly they have a set of victory high flange hubs which i have seen offered elsewhere as chorus. So what are they?

I lucked out last year and bought a NOS 36 hole C-Record road set from Nigel Scott from Dorset in England - it was his last set but you could always ask. A great guy to deal with in my experience. http://www.ashton45.freeserve.co.uk/ns-home.htm

I would also check with Baron von Corpuz of Renaissance Bikes in Eidnhoven and see what he might have or know about.

Im sure more than a few sets of what your after are in some of the CR lister's hands. Ask around and/or keep looking at swap meets. Good things is that cones, races etc etc will be around for some time and i think are still be on the current campy parts list.

I love 'em http://homepage.mac.com/wes_london/Campy/PhotoAlbum8.html

Good luck
