The Zombie still lives, today I acquired a Rigida whlset for $40.(I love steel wheels) The spokes are offset, not on
the center line, they seem to be very strong & dead true, normandy hubs. They have checking on the brake surfaces
to cool the rim,(no heat popped tubes as with alloy rims). They came with an unusual 5 spd freewheel. 34/15. I can
only guess that it was meant for heavy touring, or just perhaps, an alpine stage of a race. They're heavy, which for
me is a +. They're going on an old Centurion Le Mans frame I found by the road side that had been stripped of
everything save the fork,('83?). They may not make the top of everyone's list but I'm thrilled. I put on new cones
& bearings from a mint Univega I converted to 700c. These 40 yr old wheels roll like they were made yesterday.
