Hey, I'll be 70 years old in January.
the clincher rims are Arayas, put them on 25 years ago because they were lighter . My original rims for the sew-ups were Fiamme Yellows, but I gave them to my kid when I gave him the Gios (big mistake). This past week I laced up a pair of Ambrosio Montiels. I sure miss my Clements. Vittoria Rubino Pros with light weight Conti tubes. Also had the old logo double crest Cinelli handle bars which I can't find.
I'm buying a Park wheel truing stand to dial in the wheels I just laced (not like the old days when I set the wheels in the drop outs and eye-balled em).
Daaamn.......we need a guy like you around here.
Welcome 'OldSchoolGuy', Love to hear some more about your Ciocc, and the Gios. At your age, and with your experience with the old school 'fast bike' stuff, I'd say you fit-in quite well on C & V.
I say you're hired, (with the obligatory company 'Lexus' at your disposal,
and full use of the corporate 'Gulfstream' of course)
