Hey all.

Coming down to the last bits on my Freddie Grubb and I am itching to finish. Hopefully a listmember can help me with the following:

** Hubs:

Campy GS three piece steel, large or small flange. Would prefer 36h, but would consider 40/32

--Or--

Circa 1950's Large flange hubs, airlite, constrictor, FB, bayliss, etc that will work with a 5sp english or italian block. 36 preferred but would consider 40/32.

** Rims

This is where it gets tricky as the hubs I get will obviously need matching rims. I would like to find some 27x1.25 rims from a european maker, Wienmann Concave, Constrictor, Mavic, Super Champion, etc in clinchers.

As above I would prefer 36 (however, I many have a line on these from a kind listmember), but will need 40/32 if the hubs I find are the same drilling.

** FH Grubb headbadge, pref 1950's version, but any will do. I would rather stare at the incorrect badge than two holes.

** CLB brake hoods. Non aero, small version in gum or black.

** Bluemel's mudgards in black. I know there are some on ebay, but I would rather have a used set. Which brings me to my next point.

Functionality over condition. Meaning the frame is now show piece, so the parts do not need to be. Peeling chrome, minor pitting, etc is just fine.

Thanks all. Appreciate the help.

Cheers.
