Sorry already sold the rear. Wasn't that flash either though. (Mavic Open Pro CD / Ambrosio H/F)

Chrome plating's a 3 stage process. Copper, then nickel, then chrome. So, nickle plating just stops at stage 2. Less weight and a warmer finish. Another nice example here:

By way of explanation re the hubs: I planned to sell this about 6 weeks ago. More or less the day after, someone kindly stole the front wheel. So, I needed to build up a new pair to make the bike saleable as a whole. I had the rims spare, but didn't fancy spending £150 plus on some new hubs knowing the bike would be out the door in a couple of weeks...
Just self preservation, I guess...

Yep, used to use GP 2008s (had natural sidewalls) in 20s, but they're all sold out...
Some 23s are ok, but bought some Gatorskins a while back and at 120PSI the front wouldn't run... lol
Just burnt them both out on the rear.

Fair comment re skimping on the hubs.
I would agree to split the wheels, but that's about it.

Yep, some 23s won't fit...

Thanks! I built it from scratch 18 months ago or so. I've just finished building another, and only have room in my flat (and in my wallet) for one...
