The reason they are on the wall is they are steel and don't brake well in the rain They are also serrated so they sing during braking. Yes, they are heavier than nifty performance alloy rims but they are comfy to ride and very pretty.

Oh yeah, OldsCOOL reminds me. A Huret dork disk, slightly yellowed but otherwise in good condition. That kind of thing.

And yes I know of Bikes Not Bombs. Been there a few times. They are in a location that truly defines "You can't get theah from heah."
