Old Campi hubsetts, Change glue-ons to 700 C's?? Pro and con please, thanks
Got to the back of the wheel stash today and ended up with a quandry. There are two sets of Campy hubs on glue-on rims, a set of C-record low flange British thread and a set of high flange N record with a 5 speed regina . They will be sold later but what is the best way to deal with them. (1) sell them as they are as a set? (2) cut the hubs out and sell the hubs?? (3) Remove the rims and install some NOS Campy or Ambrosia rims (which I have plenty of). What value per each set do you see in each situation. Number (3) would take time but I have all the components and equipment and experience to do the pair in an hour or so. Thanks for your input. BTW the garage available space and the mad money stash is growing since the clearance started

You can try selling them whole, but the most money will be obtained by breaking them down and selling the hubs and rims separate. Some are looking for tubular rims, some are looking for those hubs, but might not want the other piece. Definitely do not bother lacing them up to different rims. You'll probably need to buy new spokes and there will be no more money to be made that way. Also, once you lace up an NOS rim it loses some value as it's no longer "new."
Make sure you pull the freewheel before breaking down the wheels! Or you'll never get it off after.
