Appreciate the reply, but I have a rear wheel to match to and these unfortunately won't, but nice wheels!

I have a large selection of odd (no matching pairs) track wheels several of which I know to have Mavic hubs and others I remember having the rims you're keen on. Whether some of them will have the happy combination of both and also be a front wheel I can't be sure, but I'll check and could come up lucky. Hopefully will get a chance to search over the weekend then let you know.

Looked through my wheels stash yesterday and I have to report no success on finding a wheel that meets your criteria. It's unfortunate but I have to say not all that surprising, as it was always going to be a longshot
At the same time, I have a few hundred wheels altogether and was searching in a storage lockup without electricity/lighting using a torch, so could have possibly overlooked the wheel you're after (I also remember having several wheels with the Mavic hubs but could only find one during my quick search). I also have more wheels in an attic that are mostly inaccessible but will be having a sortout soon, so if anything turns up (might be a month+ from now) then I'll let you know. Hopefully you'll find something in the meantime, probably more likely to find something on ebay IMO.
