Yes, Freebairn (sp), in Australia made wood fillied rims like the Scheeren
Weltmeisters, and they were lighter. Freebairn rims made their way into the
San Francisco area in the early to mid 50s. I never had any, but did use
Scheeren Weltmeisters in a 24-28 spoke configuration for Kilos. When Weimann
started making Weltmeisters, they were not as light as the Scheeren version. I am
on the track for one or a pair of Freebarin rims. This prompted me to check
again.
