Been following recommendations on this post with interest since I'm in the process of getting my old Ron Cooper up and running, and looking for a vintage-steel-sympathetic - rather than 'period-correct'- wheelset, and the A23 look interesting. I'm leaning towards building them on Campag Record silver hubs/Sapim Race spokes... and this came up in a search, in case it's of use to anyone:

Anyone have any experience of these lot?
Also, silly question alert... one of the things that attracts me about the A23 is the idea of the 'tub-like' ride when matched with 23c tyres. I'm thinking of Panaracer Pasela for the gumwall retro look. Will this profile make pinch-flats less likely??
