I am working on rebuilding an old Torpado (not sure what year or model) into a tourer. Good lugged steel frame, Barcons, 170mm: 39/52 crankset, a 6-speed ( 14/17/20/24/28) freewheel. THe wheel set I am looking at using is a Weinmann Alloy concave A-125 w/eyelets, 27x1-1/4, 36 spoke. These wheels are HEAVY, but from what I am reading, they should hold up well for light touring? Only BIG concern is that being hookless rims, have to keep the pressure down...but am reading mixed reports on that. I weigh in at about 180#. Any suggestions on tires that will play nice with these rims? They ARE heavy, the rear wheel, with tube/tire/freewheel/QR Skewer weighs 4 oz MORE than the frame alone!!!!! Good thing I'm not a weight weenie!!
