Hello:
I searched out certain Japanese site written about Wooden rims (includes
clinchers).
http://homepage.mac.com/
This is the site by certain Japanese craftman who create wooden bike. He can not make wooden rims, so, rims are made by Italian maestro Giovanni Cermenati near Madonna del Gizallo.
We maybe can buy wooden rims from them (Italian maestro or Japanese craftman). You maybe can contact Japanese man in English language via his site if you want.
