Here's what a pair of Harry Rowland-built Ambrosio Excellight looks like with silver hubs and spokes, on an old frame:
I'm very happy with them after ~4,000 miles, rear only needed truing after a recent crash. Aesthetically it's not absolutely "classic" but I think it works with the mix of black/white and silver components. If I were to repeat the refurb experiment, I'd be tempted to go down the silver TB14 route or similar, but I'm happy to stick with these for now.
Cheers, yeah Force 10-spd that was current around 2011/12, except I later swapped out the front mech for the Force 22 mech with Yaw, much better. But I think the old style crank is a little more retro-friendly.
