Early hard silver Assos rims on 28 hole Pelessier hubs - nice light wheels for you skinny guys. I emailed the seller for more details: 126mm rear spacing, minimal miles, no problem shipping them wherever. I've always been a big fan of Assos rims, and you don't see too many of this model - it's far less common than the later dark anodized 16mm and 18mm versions. Don't imagine the black spokes are period correct, but that's an easy fix. I was going to grab these for myself, but they're a little too light for my 210 lbs., I fear. No relation to the seller.

I have a pair of the skinny hard ano aero ones I would sell, just the rims. I built them about 1986 for a former housemate. Several times he begged me to rebuild them with clinchers because he no longer wanted the hassle of sewups. I resisted because they were such killer wheels and he never had any problems with them. Finally he had them redone in the shop when I was on vacation.. He got Open Pros and Conti GP. Promptly went out and flatted on a long downhill, rolled a tire and broke his collarbone! If that ain't Karma for ya. Anyway, they are in great shape still. $100/pr. I don't remember if 28 or 32 but email me if interested.
