They ride well, are true thankfully, kind of worried how well they would accept any spoke adjustment.
The hubs are beautifully made, I would like to keep them if possible. I cannot find a number on them and even google searches turn up little info. It appears to be a regular J spoke installed 180 degrees out. The nipples I am not so sure about. On the back wheel it seems as though a plumber has trued the wheel with a pipe wrench. I bet I could find or rethread spokes to fit but some of the nipples are a bit trashed.
I am going to turn this into a flat bar screamer for our local rail trail.
