"...... The 36 hole Rigida rims are wide, approx 25 mm, with a yellow oval label. I have not come across this rim before. Four cross spokes hold this wheelset together. I cannot remember the brand of spokes, these have the half moon on the swaged end. ...."

hi Ben,

did the logo on the spoke look anything like this?

If so, then the spokes were from Robergel. The photos are of spokes I bought in the 70's from Cyclo-Pedia. That was back when a box of 100 cost $10. <sigh>
