Title: My Postman is my Hero, Customs are thieving twats.
Post by: AKGOFF on September 26, 2011, 10:09 PM
Picked up these little beauties this afternoon and not even having to pay £101 in Customs charges could sour my mood. they are stunning, the pics really do not do these justice.
My new favourite rims along with Araya 7Bs. I hope you like them.

Question is, what Frame do i pair them with, i'm thinking a late 70s JMC, with Campy Cranks, Bob Reedy Peds, Kashi MX, etc, what do you think?

Cheers

Adam

Thats OK when you are waiting on a £50 set of bars or something but when you are waiting on something which has got a bit of value to it and it goes missing, you're fooked :(

I love Ambrosio rims, got a NOS set here laced to Arai 8000 chair hubs  :smitten: :smitten: They're going on my next build which has been abandoned under the stairs.

Far too many Araya and Ukais about.

No if you buy them the right way you are not fooked  ;)

Link your credit card through your paypal account, pay for them with paypal & credit card. Everything you buy using your credit card is automatically insured. Then mark the value down  8)

If something goes wrong claim off Paypal or your credit card  8)

NO WAY, i am having a nightmare trying to find a blue set, they are beautiful rims, the profile of them is awesome and Andy is right, there is way too many Arayas & Uais about so its nice to have something a little different.
