Ambrosio rims, any good, what the deal with them?
dinglem:
I've got a couple of pairs of these; rib-sides look nice but the pinned seam is dubious at best. There's an alarming gap. They sell for silly money, although saying that the 3 red ones on the 'Bay have been selling forever....
I picked up some Spencers today - lovely smooth welded seam and oozing quality. And £12.50 each :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:
HUTCHMAN:
i've got a NOS before building, pair of these... BUT they're a mis-matched pair of rims. One is Araya 7B style, one is Araya 7C style (both in blue)... i've no complaints about em tbh.
Church:
Some of the profile team riders used Ambrosio rims during 84 , here ' s the data sheet of Eric Rupe's Bike
For my self , I think it's the same story as the yellow alu flange Skyway tuff wheels that you can find on cheap Raleigh Tuffburner ... Good stuff on low end bikes to make it more attractive ... But the yellow tuff are now very researched to build Fiola replica for example , it 's only why these are more valuable ;)

Think i will give it a miss at 40 posted, would never find a front anyway :-\
