Wanted 126OLN Sprints/Tubs - SORTED

Putting my Sixar back to near original 1981 setup. Its back from the paint shop and looking fine.
I aim to get as original as possible, and that includes going back to tubs. Having looked at whats hanging in my garage, my old sprints all need too much TLC to make them look good again.
If you have a nice set of sprints (126 OLN ) sitting there doing nothing, is it time to move them on? What have you got ?

For general interest, this was one of the first 5 Tommassini factory produced frames that were imported after Brian and Pete had stopped working with George Stenhouse and before they went to Cougar. 20220113_114424.jpg

I have a set of Mavics with OMAS hubs going spare. I can't remember the rim model but it's bound to be one of the better ones going by the quality of the hubs.
 
I have some Wolber Profil 18 on Ofmega hubs (small flange, very similar to Campag record). 28 spoke, really good condition and very light. 126 oln rear.

Thanks Nick, yes I know the Ofmega hubs and I like them. Could you let me have a couple of pictures?

There are some pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9mxdhdpffFsXj4BVA. Sorry, the light's not great.

They're Wolber Profil 18 on Omega Super Competizione. 28 spoke front and rear, mildly bladed (kind of elliptical rather than full on bladed, and the spoke holes aren't slotted). Front is radially spoked. Rear is 126 OLN.
The hubs are the version with sealed cartridge bearing, and are nice and smooth.
The rims are slightly different colours -- the rear is the more common colour, but the front is the "bronze" version (and lacks a transfer, but I'm pretty sure it is the same).
In very good shape: there is some superficial brake residue on the front rim (I think it might be glue rather than brake residue) and nothing on the rear.
The tubs are just there for illustrative purposes: they're Tufo 21mm and look and sit fine on the rims (width-wise).
Smooth running, and nice and light.

Lower resolution copies of the pictures attached as well, in case the link doesn't work.
