Except, I don't think Weinmann ever made rims in France. AFAIK, the rims were made in Belgium, while brakes were made in Switzerland. So a French made Schwinn-approved "330" rim was quite likely just a rebaged Arc-en-Ciel. So maybe that might be a good choice.

\r?\n> The 'Schwinn Approved' Rims have a logo very much like the
\r?\n> Weinmann
\r?\n> world-champion logo from the early 1970's. They cut
\r?\n> off the logo and
\r?\n> put 'Schwinn Approved <==*==> France' to the

\r?\n> champion logo.
