According to the '75 catalog specs it came with Super Champion rims and Gran Turismo tubulars. I could be wrong but I believe I see a Super Champion sticker on the rim so guessing they're tubulars. Look in decent shape but if I did need to replace them (probably should just to be safe) then I'm gonna want to factor that into the purchase price as well. Anyone have any luck riding old tubulars? I had a '85 Trek 760 with the original tubulars which I rode and they held up relatively well to the demands of riding until I eventually sold the bike. They did however begin to fray over time. Probably only put about 300ish miles on them and always felt a little sketched out that the glue would give out on me. Never did though
