I have to jump on that train for a different question. Speaking of Rigida red label rims, does anybody know the timeline for the old black label tubular Pro rims? I have two pair of these and was thinking about lacing up a set of wheels for my mid fifties Cinelli B. Would the pro rim be in production then already or were they introduced later?
Thanks for the input.

Without seeing your rims I can't be certain, but Fiamme was noted for the angled sidewalls on their tubular rims which were used for both road and track. I have had Fiamme red label and yellow label rims with angled sidewalls that were originally laced to road hubs. And yes, they were very narrow and also low profile. Fiamme used angled sidewalls as recently as the late 70's with their Ergal "Hard Silver" rims. These were my favorite road racing rims back in the day. My favorite track rims were the ultra-light Super Champion Medal D'Or.
