I'd spec Rigida 1320 rims instead of the Fiamme's. No need to mess with tubulars to get rims that will fail you under all conditions! And I was much lighter back then, too! Build it with a Maillard Helicomatic rear hub for lots of spoke breakage, and use the Modolo carbon fiber DT shift levers for even more fracturing fun.
