help me identify my Campag. hubs
 
low flange
32 holes
threads for spin-on freewheel; hub body is stamped BSC English between the threads and the right flange
126mm rear axle
winged Campag. logo on hub body, centered between the flanges
no record-style clip-covered oil holes

I am guessing circa 1980, since they work with a standard 6-speed freewheel, but not a 7-speed.

Could be Victory, they sound like mine, though mine are 36-hole. Vintage 1985.

Certainly some pictures would help identify the hubs.

I recently sold a pair that sounded like that. They were Victory 32 hole.

The little clip is what sez record. The record hubs today have a similar styling thing, although I doubt you could actually oil your bearings through it. Hourglass shape for the hub barrel is a victory/triomphe, straight barrel is a gran sport. Campy called 'em both gran sport, I think.

OK, here's a low-res picture of the rear hub:

I was going to say Victory or Tromphe, but the rear hub in the pic there is not Triomphe...

gran sport low flange (early 80's?). With the gran sport quick release lever (the knurled raised ring, one piece at the non-lever end. Record has a d-ring). I have a couple of pair in service and have never had a complaint. The only thing they lack is a little snob appeal.

Thanks, Luker. For a 1981 bicycle, that would make these hubs a perfect period-correct upgrade from the original Ofmegas. I guess I lucked out on that one. :)

As you can see from the picture, this rear hub is definitely designed for a 6-speed freewheel (standard, non-ultra SunTour shown), so I agree with your early 1980s (or very late 1970s) assessment.
