What size rims for 55-56" frame?
need to buy rims for newly purchased frame, will 700c rims be too big for this size of frame? looking at velocity b43's or deep v's, any insight is appreciated.

A 56cm frame could be designed around a variety of wheel sizes. 700C, would be the most common, followed by 27" and 650C. What is the brand, model and year of your frame? Even if it an older frame designed for 27", there are brake sets with enough drop to accommodate a 700C wheel.

Jeepers, its a Colnogo. 700c would be the size. I think all the racing bikes of that vintage deserve tubulars. Thats what they were built for and its really what belongs on a bike like that.
So how are u building it up, Campy Super Record?

The tubular craze is the new fixie. If it's a fixie with a tubular you get to go straight to hipster heaven.
