We're downsizing home and the loft needs to be cleared.
I've just got down a pair of "sprints" as they were known. Campag Record 6 speed hubs c/w 13-18 block and Mavic GP4 rims.
Is there still any call for this sort of thing, or shall I take it to the non-profit bike repair shop with the more recent stuff?
TIA

There's a pretty big retro bike scene. They'd probably sell at a cycle jumble or just stick them on eBay. I suspect a bike charity that fixes bikes probably wouldn't have much use for them.

eBay or maybe the Cycling UK forum or Retrobike.

A cycle charity repair place wouldn't have any sort of market for that I wouldn't have thought; most stuff that ends up there is very much the BSO end of the market.

Yes, pop it on Retrobike - the market is very slow for sellers right now, but if you just want it to go to a good home then Karma on retrobike will get them rehomed fairly quickly.
