I briefly had a pair of the Hi-E sewup rims, 28 hole and extremely lightweight. I took them to the guy in a shop who wanted them and introduced them with the provenance that had been given to me:

"North Carolina Road Championship of 1972!"

He looked at me and his jaw dropped, so I quickly added, "Not ME, somebody else who owned these rims."
