Campag Atlanta 1996 rims

I've got a pair of wheels built with these rims on my old bike which I have been running since about 2000 and was wondering if it would be worth getting them stripped down and re-built with new hubs to take Shimano to go on my new Giant TCR Comp 1.
Any ideas what this might cost?
Interestingly, the rims them selves seem to attract a decent price on ebay.

    No, because putting Shimano hubs on Campag rims would make baby Gesù cry.

    I have a pair of Atlantas built onto track hubs - sadly with no track frame at present to put them on. They went decidedly out of fashion a few years ago and could be bought for very reasonable money £30/pr - and then the hipsters decided riding retro-fixies was cool and now fetch upwards of £100/pr. They are pretty heavy, but really tough too - so it really depends on what type of bike you're going to fit them to? Something nice and shiny would be my choice - a pair of Record polished alloy hubs.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
