This is what makes the Fiamme Ergal rim all the more remarkable - it's a true 290 +/- 15-gram tubular rim (not no stinkin' twenty percent weight variation, neither...) WITH ferrules (like who can use that type of rim without ferrules anyways - sheesh!)
Hey, anyone have any more NOS Ergals for sale? :-)
