Bikes: The keepers: 1969 Magneet Sprint, 1971 Gitane Tour de France, 1973 Raleigh Twenty, 3 - 1986 Rossins.

Personal experience on my Magneet tourer has me close to 5100 miles on my set of Weinmann rims with no problems whatsoever. They're still holding true and have had no flat spot problems despite the number of potholes I've failed to miss over the years. I have no plans whatsoever to upgrade. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

I've always considered Weinmann components to be greatly underrated, mainly because Schwinn used the brand for so many years. And of course, any classic buff knows that if it appeared on a Schwinn, it's got to be mediocre .
