Campy Chorus? hub 90s?
Hi folks
I was wondering if anyone could properly identify this for me? I know nothing about Campagnolo stuff since I'm not the most serious rider, and I'm broke. But I salvaged a filthy wheel from my local tip the other day because it looked like the right size for my project bike with rusted out chrome rims.
On cleaning it up, I see it's a campy hub
From what I can gather online, I think it's a Chorus from the mid 90s. Even though it's beaten up and scratched quite a lot on the exterior, the inside was immaculate when I stripped it out.
I checked ebay out of interest, and they seem to be going for silly money (in good condition though).
Is this hub worth anything in this state? Got to be worth then the 50p I spent on it
Also, the rim seems quite fancy too - and it had a tubless kevlar tyre attached which looks like it has plenty of miles left in it. I think it was only discarded for the broken spoke.
Thanks in advance

It's a campy Nuovo Tipo or Gran Sport hub in rough cosmetic condition. Worth maybe $10 if the axle and bearings are good and properly installed. Maybe worth $45 if it were nearly perfect.

Thanks Mike. As I suspected - worth more than the 50p I bought it for! haha

FWIW at this point, Chorus had the shield logo not the flying hub.

That one looks like a good candidate for some careful sanding, followed by my pedestal mounted buffing wheel, and some new dust caps.
