I think this should do me well.
I also found this on eBay:

I kind of like keeping the hubs Campy, and I've read good things about those rims too. Does that $50 shipping seem high, or is that the going rate for packaging wheelsets? I was thinking offering $375 and see how that goes.
Any thoughts or advice?
It's a fair price and H + Son makes good lucking and sturdy rims.
Might email the folks over at
Velomine.com : Worldwide Bicycle Shop, fixed gear track bike wheelsets campagnolo super record vintage bike and see if they'll give you a quote for something with Miche hubs (campy compatible). I've bought several wheelsets from them, including some miche hubs, and they've always been reasonably quick, price can't be beat, and the build quality is always good.
