It must be quite a trip to build a wheel with vintage hubs and wooden rims! The creaking of the wood as it's trued would have beads of sweat breaking out on my forehead! I'd be way out of my element having just built up a half dozen with modern hubs and metal rims.

Are the other components Campagnolo? I have no knowledge of vintage track gear, but it is fascinating. Gorgeous bike.
