I was thinking exactly the same. If you are talking about 80's "traditional" wheels.
The wheels in those links look too uhmmm....too "new". Traditional might be 36 or 32 spokes with three cross lacing, hard anodized Mavic MA40 or narrower/lighter rims from Ambrosio and Rigida with the slightest hint of an earo profile from rounded out shoulders on the rims, sealed AND non-sealed bearing low flange hubs, six speed spacing.
The wheels in those links might be closer to Olympic or TDF (time trial) caliber equipment in the late 80's.
