Someone left an old pair of wheels in the shop today with a note: "Please recycle/reuse these wheels. Tubes/tires OK [the tires are not really okay]. Needs 1-3 spokes and cluster protector [more like, needs 1-3 spokes and no cluster protector]. Campy hubs."

Needless to say, I was perplexed and intrigued. Not being one to say no to an unidentified pair of Campy hubs, and being in need of parts to build up a replacement ride for the bike that got lifted from my porch last weekend, I schlepped the wheels home.

As for the wheels themselves, they are 36-hole Campy hubs laced to narrow 700C Rigida clincher rims. They've definitely seen better days. Everything definitely looks as if it has been ridden around in all kinds of weather for quite some time - not that there's anything wrong with that, but the wheels are cosmetically rather worn. There's a couple broken spokes on the rear wheel (which is generally in tougher shape than the front), but everything looks quite restorable. Strangely, the rear wheel is equipped with a crappy SunRace 6-speed freewheel, with a splintery plastic spoke protector behind it. I have my doubts as to whether the freewheel or even the spoke protector are original parts, given that these wheels seem most likely to be from the early to mid-80's. Despite needing an overhaul, the front hub still spins incredibly smoothly and freely.

Anyway, aside from their being Campy, I have no clues as to the identity of these hubs. That's where you come in! I have no illusions about them being Nuovo Record or anything, but it would be nice to know what they are and where they stand. I have attached a photograph of the hub, with a detail image of the logo. Any help on identifying them would be most excellent!
