Turns out some idiot didn't realize that vintage Campy Record hubs were worth anything.
I corroborate this story on the basis that I am the friend mentioned in it. It is an Ambrosio tubular rim with very little braking surface damage laced to a Campy Record hub. The hub spins beautifully. I don't know why the wheel was thrown away.

But in all fairness, I haven't done anything with the wheel yet either. I need more money....
