I need some information on certain items/bikes and am hoping that someone can help me.
(2) I also found some old Nisi 27" clincher rims. They are engraved "Oro" or"toro." I know that Nisi made a tubular "Corsa Toro" rim but these are clinchers. I would like to know the period of these rims. I have a late 60s Holdworth lower end bike that I would like to put these rims on but want to know if the period is at least approximate. Any ideas?
(5) I have a set of Legano engraved campagnolo high flange hubs.
=============================
Nisi 1987 catalog:
Nisi Corsa Toro sewup rim (20mm, 350g not counting washers or bushes). Nisi Sport Toro Stretto 1/4 clincher 1/4 (24mm, 520g not counting washers or bushes). Nisi Sport Toro Strettissimo 1/8 clincher (22mm, 520g not counting washers or bushes).
Rims didn't change much over the years, mainly name changes. The Nisi Campione Del Mondo sewup rim (430g) from the early fifties was still in the '87 catalog.
Campagnolo Record large flange hubs engraved "Legnano"? Check underneath the lock nuts for the date code. My guess? Mid 1960s?
