The Fiamme Ergals are a really cool, period feature on an older C&V bike, but they can present their own unique challenges.
Notice how the pic of the Ergal rim clearly shows all the flex happening at the spoke holes just from the spoke tension. Those rims are just so lightly constructed by Fiamme (The aluminum used also seem to be just like what you'd find on those flimsy pool side folding chaise lounges) that it's like working with taffy when trying to keep them true for any amount of road miles.
Unless you are a really lightweight rider that never ever hit any potholes or bumps on the road, they would best be just used for "special" rides, like TTs on pool table smooth planned courses.....
The blue paint on the Gios Torinos is just gorgeous. With the white panels, it's just so much more striking than the blue that other companies like Gitane, used on their team replica bikes
