Pennys... You could pick up a wheelset like that at an HH jumble for £15-£20...

I figured as much. Oh well, I may as well strip out the hubs and take them to a jumble...

what about the tubs - are they in good nick and of good quality?

Fiamme are definitely rated, and in this combination of 32 & 40 might be something worth eBaying... Def strip them down and clean/polish very well.

One of the tubs is a Continental Giro (28", 22mm) that's been ridden probably 5 times. I also have a brand new and unused Vittoria Rally 23-28" that I now have no use for.
I recently swapped out these old wheels off my Holdsworth in favor of clinchers.
I know that the spokes are shot, but I wonder if anyone thinks that the hubs and/or rims are worth anything. I'd be happy to take them apart and flog them with all proceeds to the forums.
Rims: Fiamme (Italy) tubular (front 32h, rear 40h). The braking surfaces are pretty worn, the nipple holes are rusting and it would take some effort to polish the rim.
Hubs: Normandy (France) high-flange (front 32h, rear 40h). Cosmetically these are not too bad except that the branding is faint and they need a polish. They feel great to spin, but I haven't inspected the internals.
Cheers,
