Subject: [CR]Where are the high flange hubs?

Looking on eBay, I have noticed that the ratio of small flange to high flange Campagnolo hubs is very high.

I know that at some point high flange were the standard, then it seemed like everyone switched to small flange very quickly. My recollection is that wheels built with small flange hubs were supposed to be more comfortable because the extra length in the spokes allowed for some flex.

Where are all the high flange hubs? Did they break? Or are you just hoarding them along with your stash of world logo brake hoods?

I am looking for a pair of Campagnolo high flange 5 speed hubs. Please let me know if you have any to sell or trade. Could be wheels or hubs.
