No-Record Hubs... low flange?
Ive never seen a pair before... only high flange.
Anyone have info? Other than "no-record" was a 60s thing.
Mostly just curious as to the low flange variation details. I just bought a pair.. and neither myself nor a few other devoted collectors had seen or heard of them.

I for one have never seen or heard of vintage low flange Campy hubs. As far I new pretty much all there older hubs where high flange.

They were around, but most folks preferred high flanges.
This is from 1967 Catalog 15.

Yeah, I was just reading something yesterday, about they didn't have Record written on their hubs, in the 60s. Mine are low-flange, but made in the early 80s. What I was looking for info about, was a set of early Super Record shifter levers I scored recently. They're not minty at all, the chrome on the band is pretty discolored, but the backplates are black, making them Super Record. What I was really after, was the levers themselves, that say Vicenza on them. Like that matters

I recall in 1974 that low flange (actually, mid-flange, in the case of Campag.) hubs were starting to come into vogue, after a 10-year stretch in which a high flange was a mark of quality. It is interesting to see some of the high-flange and mixed-flange hubs out there in today's market.

I never thought of high flange hubs as the mark of quality since all the low end Peugeots and Schwinns I saw everywhere had them. I built wheels with low flange hubs for my PX10 to differentiate it from those. It still has those Maillard 700 hubs and my PA10 has LF Campy Record.
