Hi, Kyle:

I am not expert, merely guessing. Several years ago whilst investigating rims, I stumbled into the Ambrosio site - I believe the Torelli are re-badged Ambrosio. Don't recall the Ambrosio model and don't know if still in production.

I've used the Torelli Master rims (i think those are the ones) that are very similar to the MA2 -- box construction, double eyelets. I believe they were discontinued fairly recently - but they wouldn't look out of place on a vintage bike as long as you weren't trying to do an exact restoration. So, does anybody have some old stock of those, or something like them?
