Nisi Campione del Mondo rims date from at least the early fifties; according to the Nisi brochure they were given name Campione del Mondo when Fausto Coppi won the World Championship road race held at Lugano, Switzerland in 1953 using this rim. I've used them on a couple of early fifties Bianchi... excellent rim!
