Now that I'm buying the Levels I find I've got a (couple of) spare pair(s) of hubs.
One pairs a new and boxed set of gold anodised Hope high flange track hubs, these are drilled for 18 holes at the front, 28 at the back, drilled for aerospokes. Come with a matching gold anodised lock-ring. I want £145 for these, anyone who watches Roberto's sales on ebay will know I paid somewhat less than this for them, but I got lucky, am not desperate to sell them and think they're probably irreplaceable. £145 is two thirds of what it'd cost to buy a pair of Phil Woods and I think these are of comparable quality.

The second pair's a set of 36 hole low flange Mavics. I picked these up at a cycle jumble in Bruges and though I can't guarantee it, am fairly sure these are NOS and have never been built up into a set of wheels. They're quite light and amazing quality, if only they were drilled for 32 instead of 36 holes they'd be uber desireable. I paid £125 for them and that's what I want for them. They'll come, as pictured, with their original lock-ring.
