You mean being too new?

There are plenty of 40 or 50 year old Campy hubs out there, and still on the road. The big thing is what is inside. How are the cones & races? Anything wrong with the hubs?

The other issue is that at some point Campagnolo changed their freehub design. I don't know how that affects supporting your bike, but it may be something to consider. Or, if you're using old style freewheels, find a hub that could be upgraded.

Anyway, if you have a good bike shop, they should be able to build a new wheel almost as easily as maintaining an old one. Talk to they about what they'd require from you. Stripping the old wheel (after removing the cassette?)
