I'm looking at using these on an early 80's project. Does anyone have any experience with these?

If you want the wheels to be era appropriate, they're a bit too deep. As a medium depth aero rim, they are a compromise, While they're more aerodynamically efficient, they're heavy and radially stiff.,so they provide quite a harsh ride. They're good value and appropriate for somebody like a novice triathletes but not the type of thing I'd want to ride everyday.
