their 130mm version is on sale for $35, which is affordable, i guess.

still, i'd rather my hubs read "campagnolo" (and be even more affordable) than "gran cru."

the last two campy hubsets i purchased cost under $100 total. ($25 per hub with skewers.) and they were perfect.

i bought a campy gs rear hub with skewer this week for about $15.

and if you look, you can find great hubs on wrecked or rusty bikes.

if you like high-flange ones, suzues are especially nice and available on inexpensive japanese bikes.
