I found some wheels in a pile of grime and applied a lot of (elbow) grease....
They're Campag Tipo on Mavic GP4 36s- original. Tipo were as good as Record, cheaper and less temperamental, GP4s were just bombproof (tubs of course). Not crashproof though, hence the anodising is different shades, not that I care.
If it seems that this bike and its components have been crashed a lot, well they have, but bear in mind that this bike was used for about 4 or 5 years for all Summer training (we used to have Summer then) plus at least two road races a week.
Pardon sub-standard picture.....
