Title: OS Ammaco wheel or not ?
Post by: simonm on October 29, 2008, 11:18 AM
Can anyone confirm if this is ACTUALLY, an original ammaco wheel e.g. 82-84  OR something off a more recent ammaco cheepo bike ?

I think its mid-school wheel si, I think all of their earlier wheels were steel, this looks alloy. They are continuing making stuff even nowadays as my local bike shop has loads of recent ammaco bikes and parts.

Cheers,

Matt  :daumenhoch:
