The hubs both front and back are Campagnolo Record, by the way. Fiamme Ergal red label for the rear rim, and Fiamme Ergal gold label on the front rim.
It's a really, really interesting mix of components...

I'm not familiar with those brakes, never even heard of them. Is this from the same GB that made stems? I recently discovered the vintage bike parts area at ebay (Sporting Goods > Cycling > Road Bikes & Parts > Parts & Accessories > Vintage Parts). If you want replacements, that would be a good place to look.
I've used Fiamme Red Label rims, a good work-horse/training/general use rim. The Gold Labels are much lighter.
Oil is good, grease is better.
