Your Merckx looks great.
As far as the Shamal rims are concerned, I've had them for ages.
Some time ago, you could get lucky, and find quality parts for not much money. When that happened I would snap them up and hoard them.
I can't remember where the rims came from (or, at the moment, where they are), but I'm pretty sure they are 12 hole. Bit like the Delta's, really impractical, but great to look at.

Damn, nice!
As @damskodonny says it looks spotless, like it left the factory yesterday, and I too thought it was Gan colours.
10 speed Chorus sounds great, intrigued by the Delta's and Shamal rebuild options too, I've never come across any rims just on their own, did they ever sell them separately or were they stripped off a set? Clinchers or tubs? either way hens teeth and expensive I imagine, especially if clinchers. Have you got the 12h or 16h rims?
I was out on my Team Panasonic with 10 speed silver Chorus this morning, now rocking a white Flite and Veloflex tyres. Silver groups just look better in the sunshine :)
