When I got my Bianchi the seller also gave me an Ukai rear rim attached to a very old looking Sunshine high flange (5354 is stamped on the hub) quick release hub. It's quite dirty but spins very smoothly and the rim is very usable. Is it worth hanging on to or? I've heard some good thoughts on older Sunshine hubs so, is this one?

Save it as good trade bait. Hubs sell all the time on ebay (that avoids the shipping hassles of shipping an entire wheel). I pretty much keep any alloy rim wheel for future needs, and salvage hubs from bent rims or rusty steel ones.
