[ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] 1985 c-record 36 hole small flange hubs
I am sure they cost me about  £90
plus I just bough [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] new bearings
you have to watch out as 1985 c-record bearings change sizes, PLUS they differ in size front to rear!!

on the front you buy a weld tite m9 axle, you run the campag cones up this axle, re-cutting the threads in the cones - its different
weld tite axles front and rear £5.49 x 2 = 10.98
two sets of bearings £3.49 and £3.89
hubs £108.36

have some capy cranks, 172.5mm bit too long for this, will need stripping and polishing, they have a 44 tooth ring on that's too large to.
If any one want to swap for some 165mm arms, I will sling in the ring and a usa sized bottom bracket, its missing one part, but the axle is there!!

218mm spokes, now its a bit of a guess, but I am in hope that 218mm is low flange hub and 451mm 20 by 1 3/8ths rims!!

I might be wrong but that looks like a PR Racing frame not a Curtis. Different drop outs to the Curtis. Very nice frame though.
