What are the thoughts in these parts about Nisi rims? They're Italian, aren't they? I had a set of Nisi Mixers (clinchers) in the 80's on my Trek, and I was very impressed with their strength and weight. They were kind of a deep box-section rim, if that makes sense, almost aero but not quite. Pretty sure they made tubulars too.

Are they still in business?

Wasn't a Rino group marketed in the U.S. as Excel about 1982 or so? Was

this pro kit or mid-range Ofmega?
