Subject: [CR]Identifying and WTB Weinmann rims/Brians' Peter Rich story

I hope this subject hasn't been hashed over before my time here on the list, but after searching the archives to no avail, and C.R. main which has no mention of Weinmann rims or an entry for Belgium, I still have this question:

How can I identify some Weinmann clincher rims I have? A couple are concave, and a couple have a raised center portion, and if I remember, they are schrader drilled. Is one style better or stronger than the other? Does each style have a name? When were they made and is there a source for buying them?

Thank you. Jay Sexton Sebastopol, CA

P.S. Finally catching up on my C.R.'s.....fantastic story about Peter, Brian! Thank you for sharing it with us.
