I'm pretty sure the hubs are original. They are Record "No Record" hubs with closed "C" skewers that should align with the late 50's /early 60's. None of this is visible in the pictures, but I stopped by Cap'n house over the weekend to check out the bike. I couldn't resist not swinging by to see the bike and talk to @cap'njohny about it.
