Subject: [CR]ebay outing, Martano rims - mine

These are a little odd, but please have a look. They appear to me to be very light road rims, with a machined brake track on the sidewall. They each weigh a little under 320g, and are drilled for 40 spokes. I was cleaning out my garage, throwing away old used sewups that were beyond resurrection and discovered these rims hiding under some old track tires. I don't have a clue where I got them. Probably got them really cheap to use for stretching sewups, which may be their highest and best use. They've never been laced up but have a fair amount of oxidation. Bowtie decals are pretty good.

I have no idea of the age or model of these, but I'm curious if anyone out there can ID them. If a list member ends up wiining the auction, I'll pay for 1/2 the postage & insurance costs.
