Front and rear Wolber rims. Shimano 105 hubs. 7-speed freewheel on rear hub. 32-spokes on both rims.
These are well built rims from the early 90's.
Decal information: Wolber T430 Alpine, 700, Chrome Magnesium, Hard Anodized, Made in France
I'll be glad to answer any questions via e-mail. Note that these are in Crossville.
What I got:
A bit more brake wear than I'd like, but it's not too bad, considering.

Great deal! I continually recommend used wheels to people on the forum. I have found so many over the years, anywhere from $10 to $50. Picked up a set of tricolor 600 (7 speed) last weekend.
If you look, they pop up from time to time, typical come with skewers, cassette, and often tires and tubes
My best flip ever was a set of Zipp carbon wheels, picked up at a garage sale a couple of years ago.
