  • Also I need a bit of help from you all. Not sure what colour rims to go with, as I love the look of all polished rims, but they are not that readily available in all drillings and options. However black rims are much better in availability, however I’m intending to run gumwalls and I always found it odd looking to get a black, silver,tan and black rubber rings all together.

    I did a mockup with the polished wheels from my Cannondale 2.8, and then photoshopped what a black rim might look like. What looks better, black or polished?

    Also still thinking about lacing. As I’ve done 20/24h (radial front and NDS rear) on a few of my bikes, I’m thinking of going 32h 3 cross on shiny vintage Campagnolo hubs to keeep with the vintage theme… Convince me otherwise

  • Bike looks much nicer up thread with proper black tyres … I reckon low/shallow rims , 32 , 3 cross … sliver , silver , silver …. isn’t it supposed to be old fashioned … ? !
