Yeah this is true. I have slowly been turning my 1953 Humber frame from brakkless hipster bike into retro fixed gear tourer (mainly inspired by the upcoming Tweed Run!) and i think these rims would look a treat in either the polished chrome or grey ano finish. I'm running open pro's on there at the moment and i love that wheelset, so light, great for getting up hills, even with the heavy backend of the bike (brooks saddle, saddlebag and support rails).
I dunno, think i just fancy something different? But i'll probably avoid if the likely suspects that will be supplying these in London slap a massive "hipster new product better than NJS" pricetag on them. Will have to wait and see i suppose...
