About my "Record" rims ...

Greetings, I've posted a version of this elsewhere, in reply to an older thread, but I'm not clear on whether that gets much visibility. So apologies if I'm double-dipping:

My questions is this: Are these rims as rare as I’ve been led to believe? For better or worse, I’ve ended up with two sets.

The first have been on my 1982 Bianchi (Record 842, according to my research) for as long as I can remember. I’m the bike's original owner so I can vouch the rims are not original; I just can’t recall when I got them and under what circumstances.

The second set were a recent garage find, evidently long forgotten under the cobwebs (the plastic inner strip disintegrated in my hands when I examined them). This second set, with Campagnolo hubs, have been dusted off, lubed, tuned and fitted on to my son’s late-1980s Campione d’Italia.

We both love the look and feel of these rims, and boy, do they seem solid: In my case I don’t remember ever having to get them aligned or serviced for any reason. And, believe me, the roads here in Montreal are far from ideal.

I would welcome any information you might have about these rims. Apologies for the distorted panorama in my clumsy effort to get both bikes in the frame:

Why apologize “if” you are double-dipping, when you clearly know you are, and are doing it anyway?
That’s like telling your wife, “Honey, I apologize if this is adultery, but I just met this girl whom i’m going to sleep with, ‘cuz I want to.” And expect her to be OK with it, because you did apologize.

You could have said, “I know this is double-dipping. So sue me.” Then I would have read the rest of your post.

Are you an administrator of this forum? Because, really, my apology is directed at them. I’m saying: I’m new here, I’m not sure how things work and I’m coming clean about having posted a version of this in a reply to another thread, in case that’s against protocol. In which case I apologize and please feel free to delete the post, move it or reprimand me.

As as for you, I wish you well with your anger issues.

I have some Record rims but decades earlier, like 40-50 years earlier. I doubt there is any connection.

record is probably a model, Google the other info - search eBay.it too
