Recently, had a set of these laced to Campagnolo NR hubs for my 1976 Masi restoration. Chris, the young mechanic at the local bike shop couldn't believe how light these rims were and advised against actually riding them as "way to light". The trend does seem to be toward comparatively 'beefier' rims.

BTW, I don't ride those rims -- they're just for show in a period correct mode. I use a set of NR High Flange hubs laced to Mavic 40s.
