• @Quiet_Mike thanks for posting that, it makes very interesting reading. Its great that people on this site are willing to share such information and knowledge.

    According to Classic Lightweights on Weinmanns

    Early ones from the early 1950’s have different engraved markings and
    no dimples around the spoke holes.

    I'm guessing mine are later as they don't appear to have dimples around the spoke holes. Weinmann rims seem to be the easiest to get hold of so I may look to replace the rear wheel completely by getting an age appropriate 115mm freewheel hub and another Weinmann rim, and simply replace the hub in the front wheel with something more appropriate age wise. I don't want to damage the rear wheel at all as it seems a nice one.

    I'll rider her as she is for Eroica but hopefully I will find some parts whilst I'm there. Things seem to have dried up on ebay at the moment.
