  • Some Ambrosio hubs fell into my lap at HH2 a few months ago. So this means I need some wheels built up.

    To quote Chris Chrash 'Those hubs are cheaper than your t-shirt and won't last as long'. (I was wearing a £5er t-shirt). So... don't want to over do it then.

    A few bits of info:

    • silver hubs, both 32h
    • the rear is fixed-fixed. I have in mind to take advantage of this by riding to the velodrome, swapping the wheel around and doing a bit of club racing on the track (cat4 - I'm not fast).
    • plain jane red frame
    • awful carbon fibre forks so I don't need a fussy look
    • the wheel set will be a second wheel set. I'll just throw them on in emergencies (or track days). Or... to use on my next bike build. That won't be anything special.

    I though of sticking something like a black deep rim on the back, cross laced and just a normal profile road rim on the front, but with radial lacing. I'd like your ideas - what would look ok and what would work for the type of uses I'm talking about?

    The photos below are the bike they'll be used on to start with and the hubs.
