if i decide to go clincher, it will probably be polished open pros or some flavour of Ambrosio or Fir box rim, unless i can score a pair of 28h NOS period correct jobbies. Anyone sitting on a pair of Fiammes or Rigidas? Thought not.
I know a place in Toronto where you can find NOS Fiamme 36h clinchers for around $30-40 Canadian each. In Polished silver or Anodized black. I'm pretty sure they'd ship. Just a thought.

I know they have them because I was recently going to get a pair for my Lejeune track bike. The only reason I didn't is because I found a nice pair of polished 32h Ambrosios for cheap.

Oh man I love your bike!!
