  1. Initial
  2. clincher-open tubular wheel set

Current Stage Info:

This wheelset was accquired like this apart the tires and freewheel.
The fist wheel set, the tubular Nisi Laser leggero wheelset was actually assembled to the bike just as bought, meaning with the vintage Vittoria Tecno Total Kevlar tubulars as the GPM CronoSpecial light alloy 7S freewheel, was a bargain for 115€ incl. shipping, practically hardly used.
