Hi Dan,
Thanks for the info. Mine happen to be the ones with the Tipo hubs as well. Do you have any idea where I can find the old vintage pink tires? I want to use these wheels to ride up and down the streets of San Francisco in parades!
Thanks again for your help.
Regards, Ted E. Baer Palo Alto, CA
