Guerciotti completed with VO rims

I pulled off the Dura Ace components an built it up with 1983 Campagnolo. I finally had the wheels finished with VO PBP rims once they were back in stock. They are a bit thicker from inside to outside diameter than my old MA-40s but I like them.





I also repainted the stem. The flutes used to be a hideous burgundy red slopped outside the lines.

That looks really nice. I've always admired the VO rims.

Beauty! I also just built some wheels with rims from them, but they weren't the VO brand (Sun).

Is that Benotto bar tape? Looks superb! Very clean and classic looking ride.

Well done.

Thanks guys! Yes, it's Benotto tape. Got that and the cable housings from yellowjersey with a tip from gridplan. Can't wait to go for a ride. Wife asked "What do you want to do today?" which is code for no bike riding

How would you compare the Sun vs. the VO rims? The VO have a think/heavy look to them.

I'm shopping for rims for a pair of Zeus high flanged hubs and am thinking about polished aero rims if I'm going to be stuck with the thick look.

That Benotto tape really sets things off - a very classy build from head to toe!
