Which hubs?

Sorry for the thread hijack, but......

I started a low budget - fixed build a few months ago, which has now grown into a beast which keeps me awake at night with cries of feed me! feed me!

One of my first (sensible) buys was a pair of ambrossio track hubs, which I got really cheap. Having got carried away, everything I have collected since then has been pretty high end. I am now toying with the idea of rebuilding the hubs with quality track nuts, and ceramic cartridge bearings (£17 per cartridge). I must admitt I have no real belief that this will give a noticable improvment in performance. I just love the idea of building a steel track bike which looks vintage, yet incorparates new technology (it appeals to my inner geek).

My questions are - should/can I replace the spindles?

                      - is this the very definition of 'polishing a turd'?

Yes.

Sell the hubs on and use the money you would have spent on bearings, tracknuts and spare locknuts on a better quality hub.
