After almost 40 years, my front 27" Super Champ Competition rim has developed a crack. (Geeze couldn't take four decades of gravel and countless commuting potholes? ) Rear wheel still seems great. Anyhow, compared to finding 700 'homage' rims, doesn't seem to be a lot of 27" rims out there with a 1970-1980s look. I want to keep the original Weinmanns, so not really considering going the 700 or 650 route.
Good old Sun CR-18s do come in 27"/ 36H and if not looked at too closely will look pretty darn similar to the remaining Super Champ on the rear.
Does anyone have any issues with the cheap, but venerable Sun CR-18 and /or know of any other brand's 1980s looking 27' rims I should consider?



1974 Falcon Olympic... my first all 531 frame, still one of my favorite rides after 45 years
27'/36H rim that I'm not aware of?
Many thanks
Michael
