Thanks guys!

It looks like I got a cheap wheelset with my Gitane. The flanges are flat. I suspected that they were not the good hubs because they're not finished as well as I would expect. That's okay, I still got a great bike for what I paid. I'll save those wheels for the beater I plan to build with my left over French parts. I'm looking for a cheap French CroMo frame.

I was just looking for some high flange Campy NR hubs for it when I came across some Maillard 500s. I have 700s on my Peugeot, but I've never heard of 500s. They appear to be beautifully engraved. Can you tell me anything about them? When were they produced? How do they compare with Maillard 700s?
