I have finally fitted new tubs to the Fiamme/Airlite wheel combination I bought, but because they are track rims I have replaced the existing wheels on my 1948 Hobbs of Barbican Raceweight. The previous rims were 26 x 1 1/4 Weinmanns with Normandy Hubs. They looked nice but weren't really old enough. Plus I was struggling to find tyres that I liked.
I think the new wheels look great on the Raceweight. I have saved a lot of weight by switching (approximately 800g including leaving off the additional freewheel!). I think the bike looks better too!
