hello list,

i have a japanese vintage lightweight project in the works ( yes, ...a 3 re nsho), and i have a choice of NOS rims to make:

areo 1 or the 'gold' model  

the 'gold' pair i have are vintage, ...maybe old as dirt.  ...i know this model is still currently made.

if any one out there has any experience with either of these 2 rims, ...bot h good and bad, ...please bring it on.

i'll be using 36 hole frt/rear, 126mm rear, 145 lbs.

plenty thanks and aloha
