Well, no. I mean yes. Well, not really. I lose sleep over plenty of other things though.

The other wheels I've built didn't have readable labels on the hubs. Never had a Campy hub before.

These wheels may end up on a very different bike one day soon. The story deserves a thread of its own but now may be premature. A few days ago a musician friend in my band, an ex-bike racer, asked me if I wanted to build another bike as a winter project. I said sure, what did you have in mind. I know he has a collection of bikes and parts, Raleighs, Schwinns, Masis, Motobecanes, etc. He says his gray Masi, then I can hang onto it and ride it. It's too small for him, only slightly small for me. He says it deserves to be ridden so he's gonna' box up all the parts and bring it over. He doesn't have wheels but he might be able to scrounge something up. I can only think wow, that'd be a step up from the Bianchi, now wouldn't it?

In the meantime I have wheels to build. And I won't hold my breath for it.
