FIR Sport
Do you have any information about "FIR Sport" rims?
They were mounted in some city/road Bianchi bikes from 80s.
I have such rims in quite good condition and I am wonder if it is worth to build new wheels with these rims.

FIR made a wide range of rims and they struck me as pretty decent.

I don't know about the Sport, nor FIR in general. But I built tubular wheels with the FIR GL125 (I think it was) and they worked out just fine.

So these rims are very similiar to Mavic Sport.
They are very lightweight (330 g) but single-wall and they aren't eyeletted.
