sidenote: cavernmech, i know u helped me out with wheels before and with a couple hundred kms on them they are still perfectly true....

does anyone here have any leads to 1 Ambrosio 19 Extra Super Elite rear wheel? 700c?

turns out my rear wheel has a flatspot, radial out of round of about 0.75mm... it lasts about 3 spokes, so when i try to true it, the spokes by the flatspot are no longer in tension..

I don't notice it when riding, or when coasting at 120psi.

Should i worry? is this "in spec" for older box rims with no aero section?

I doubt this is a rolling grenade, but anyone have anything old for sale?

when the rest of the wheel is true/tensioned, its a nice strong wheel and has stayed laterally true even along really rough roads.
