Road and Track did weirdo funny tests in April issues (April Fools) and the Maserati bicycle may have been one of those. My dad has an extensive collection of the magazines and I will search for it if anyone has an idea what year.

The Campy car wheels in the 60s were very light but poor sand castings and prone to leaks and breakage. The current copies for Alfa GTAs are made much better and thicker. My '73 Alfa has the Campy Turbino wheels and are a cool design but a pain in the arse to clean. I would probably change them if they were not Campy.
