What rims are on a 1973 Raleigh Competition?
I have a 1973 Raleigh Competition I picked up a while back for just $40. Yes, thank you, thank you. Anyways, there are no labels on the tubular rims that came on it. I thought I had read somewhere that this bike came with tubular wheels so I assume they are original. It has Normandy Luxe Competition hubs. I'm going to put clinchers on it and sell the tubulars, but what brand are the rims?
