The wheels are Dura Ace hubs (36 hole) laced to mid-80's Matrix Iso tubular rims. Also included was a nice 6sp Shimano 600 freewheel. 13-21 gearing. Pretty tough for my fat old legs.
I have a set of nice Vittoria Evo Tubular tires (NOS) that I may glue up to these rims and set up for riding.
The question now is to sell them and lace up the Campag Super Record hubs I have stashed away for this project. Putting Shimmy hubs on this beautiful Italian bike seems like heresy!

Seeing the pictures of these wheels reminds me of my childhood, of the days when my brother and I were riding our bikes along the riverbanks on our hometown. Those were truly wonderful days...that I can't help but reminisce.
