Fiamme would be easier to find I guess, Mavic sprints form that period seem VERY few and far between. There is quite a few 26 1/4 Dunlop Light Alloy (Dunlop LA) rims for sale on ebay at the moment, these are nice clincher rims and ride well from what I remember (I had some on the EF Russ that I had a few years back), so you could build (or get built) some wheels up. This would be my choice I think. Apparently they are hard to get a tyres on but I can't remember if I found this the case or not.

Thanks very much for the offer @clubman.
The 26" wheel search was for my 47' Holdsworth and trying to restore it to the specification offered by Holdsworth at the time but when I finally get it running I intend to use it rather than look at it.
The points you raise sound very valid and I think I will now look for sprint's or 700s.
Sprint's - Would I be looking for Fiamme or early Mavic ?
700s - What should I be looking for to suit ?
Thanks for advice.
