I recognize the decal but the name escapes me at the moment. No doubt they are original to the bike. Rare like hens teeth.
I purchased both bikes from the seller so I have 4 different make alloy rims and they are all heavily corroded. I don’t really care if the wheels are the same brand, I imagine like any other type of racing if the part is usable it gets used. I have no doubt that I can clean them up and use them, but here’s the thing, all the decals are badly damaged and I don’t think I can save them; are there reproduction decals available for vintage rims? Wheels are Cerchio Clement, Weinmann, Fiamme, and Vianzone Torino.

I am going to start another thread for the other bicycle (Carbine track bike) in a bit to try and figure out what year it was made. The only thing I could find online is that it’s Australian made and most likely vintage 50’s like the Paramount.
