Nisi Stretto Corsa Tubulars. Double Eyelets, early 80's black finish. And the Wolber TX's are sweet too.

i actually like the look of machined deep v's better than non-machined, especially when one is going to be using colored tires. the silver band creates nice contrast.

always nice to see another aero... do you have the geometry info on that year? i think i have the same frame.


as for rims, the mirror polish or gold deep v's are pretty fresh

thanks. stem is just a cheap Kalloy off ebay. it's probably the most asked about part on the bike. year of frame is early 90's, i believe..

Yeah I hear that 100%. Well, 50% now cause the back rubino died at the start of the alleycat and is now a black gatorskin.

I really like the Campy Shamal.

This was the first mass produced deep-v rim, me thinks. I might have a lead on some...would be nice.

Love those...

rafi 12-11-05 10:30 PM

the atlantas are also blingy. cant find a good picture this
minute. also are drilled for more holes in the rim, makes
them fine for the streets

p3ntuprage 12-12-05 09:05 AM

i have a set of wolber profil20s

gorgeous anthracite/brown anodising and a really sweet curved semi-aero profile.

[the last time i checked, atlantas were the same as the shamal rims, just drilled 32 instead of 12.]

but yes. shamals.... mmmmm....

Campagnolo Atlanta Pista's. Be-you-tee-full. I live in Atlanta, too. Can I have some, laced to Vittoria Atlanta Pista Tires, please? You don't see these up for grabs, like ever.

Smorgasgeorge 12-12-05 07:59 PM

I have always been a fan of simplistic brilliance, so I opted to get the white, machined Deep V's on my IRO. I think they look pretty bling.

the saavedra's on my vanilla work for me. non-machined / tubular.

Rev.Chuck 12-12-05 08:45 PM

The Ayaya World Champion tubular I have on the front of my Yamy is very pretty. I polished it before the build and it has very organic shallow V shape. Light too.

Judah 12-12-05 09:01 PM

Yay! I get to post these again, the best looking rims on the planet:

No machining, in fact no flat to even speak of, just one smoothe curve from the apex to the tire. EAI Arrow Super Turbo clinchers. Wheeeee..........

absntr 12-12-05 09:20 PM

As mentioned before, the CXP-12's are really nice. I was originally looking for a set of Campy Atlanta's or CXP-30's but the CXP-12's are a nice shallower non-machined, smooth V with a sharp point which met a lot of my criteria.

are those still in production? they look just like the araya sa30 i've been trying to find a mate for these past couple of years...

love my rear Atlanta '96. In fact, I'm always looking for one to match in the front. Right now the front is Mavic Open Pro -- a little soft for my taste. This is my commuter bike, and it needs to be tough. I've had to true the Open Pro several times; the rear never.

sadly, they're not. i'm pretty sure that judah (the b*stard) bought the last NOS ones on the planet.

on the upside, they weigh pretty close to 600gm/rim so he pays every time he tries to accelerate :D

(on the downside, once he's rolling :eek: )

Haha, but that's my training/pimp bike, the Walker feels like a feather after riding that beast :p

Seriously though, they weigh a damn ton, and yeah, I bought the last 4 NOS in existance. Got 'em from Don who got 'em from a warehouse somewhere...
