Is there a market for used sprint rims?

I have Fiamme red label and super champion ones all in good condition .Any one still building wheels with them .
 
I still do as I prefer tubs for riding, just built up a pair of Fiamme Pista laced to a set of Campag Record Pista's for a 1960's track iron....
 
Just built a newer set of GP4's on Dura Ace, my brother rides tub's quite often too.
There's not that many that ride them nowadays but as you can add a tyre sealant to them I'm happy to use them more often and as I'm not racing on them I'm not bothered about the extra weight either that it will add.
 
Still using red label GP4, Montlhery Pro and Ambrosio Montreal any of which occasionally catch the eye and usually a good ensuing blether... Been a few times recently when a chain gang rider has sidled up offside and commented, "Tubs, eh? Ah need to get back onto them!" Aye? Right! Do it!
 
add: GEL280's incurred a relatively historic bad press; so far, via mixture of town/road/some shocking roads around Stirling/Alloa it needs more frequent truing but after 2500 miles/75kg/grimpeur no sign of eyelet stressing...
 
I sold some at the weekend. I have a pair of GP4's and some odd ones still available.

Personal collection only though!
 
I have some 1950's Fiamme on those steel/ alu Campagnolo hubs plus red label GP4 on Tipo

Plus some very tidy yellow label Mavic on Shimano 600.

I dont mind tubs but then I'm not a fanatic rider anyway
