Classic Style Wheelset

If you're going to use them every day, then there's even more justification for handbuilt.

Usually more reliable, definitely easier to fix and often cheaper than the mass produced equivalent.

Take your self to the oldest shop and frame builder in town and ask what they have lurking under the piles of old tyres in the stock room.

Rourkes found me an original Mavic MA2 new in it's wrapper when they did me a wheel for my fixed.

Are you planning on using a current group set or something older?

Definitely handbuilt.

I've just built a pair with Velocity Razor rims on Ambrosio Zenith hubs for my refurbished and modernised 1988 Bianchi.

Very little branding on the rims for a great retro look

Superstar Components Elite 24 wheelset looks pretty old-school for a good price. The Elite 30s look a bit like the old Campag Shamals too.
One of their wheelsets got a good review on here recently.
I'm looking to build-up a new/old steel bike with Campag Athena silver (old-school looks with current technology) and am seriously considering these wheels.

+1 hand built using tb14 ... mine are on record with laser spokes so a touch over
the £350 mark. ace wheels though with the classic look.

I would recommend handbuilt HPlus TB14 rims, Hope Pro III Hubs, Competition spokes - should come to about that without a cassette or tyres. I had a set and loved them to bits, kept the hubs when the rims wore out from braking

handbuilts, planet X have plenty of decent ambrosio rims
