[MENTION=103617]jetboy[/MENTION], thanks for the feedback. Is that corrosion seen on the braking surface? I have to admit that the rim scares me a little bit. Maybe it is worth de-lacing and saving the hub for a future build on a nice set of tubular rims?

[MENTION=173992]non-fixie[/MENTION], I never visit the Road Cycling forum, so it was interesting to see how quickly conversation turned into a bunch of trash-talk about nothing to do with the American Classic wheels. Pathetic!
