Wanted 27" wheelset 120mm or 126mm rear

I'd consider selling my high flange Sunshine (AKA Sansin) on weinmann hookless clinchers.
Hubs are a thing of beauty and run lovely and smooth, original QR skewers, however I didn't realise (until a few years after buying them) they're slightly mismatched in the slots in the flange. One is the trapezoid type and the other is a large circular (on the rear). Minimal wear on braking surfaces but a couple of minor imperfections/nicks (not dings) that have no effect on braking.
Fitted with 28mm Michelin tyres that have very little wear but cracking a little bit on sidewalls. I've had them at 80psi no problems at all and ridden the old girl to 30+mph. Now staying with 700C as I bought an extra deep drop brake for the rear and the stays were actually widened before the bike came into my hands (so is actually close to 130mm) but I bought these because of the amazing look it gave the bike.
Also superb 5 speed Regina freewheel available.
Picture doesn't do them justice so will upload more if you're interested.
Without freewheel and collect from Letchworth Garden City £120, posted £133 (parcelforce 48hr, with freewheel add £35.

Hi Tony,
thanks for your offer. I like those Sunshine hubs, in fact have a pair of 700 wheels with tubs on, buttery smooth, so would be interested, but those prices are somewhat high. I can buy a pair of Campy low flange for near half that on evilbay. I'll await if anyone else offers these, otherwise may get a pair of 27" rims and relace onto Sunshine hubs myself, although was trying to avoid that.
Thanks again

Thanks for your offer - as mentioned - I do have a pair of Sunshine large hubs laced to Fiamme sprints, but was trying to avoid using these and re-lacing to 27" rims, so interested in full set hubs + rims only.
