My Postman is my Hero, Customs are thieving twats.
« 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 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.
