Hello All,

I had the person who sold me the 1959 RIH email telling me he would be sending me a set of rims for the bike free of charge. I figured I would get a pair of old tubular type rims. But when they arrived today they were a complete wheel set with a pair of tubulars mounted and still aired up. they were very grimmy around the hubs and I couldn't even tell if they were steel or alloy hubs. After an initial cleaning I found RIH in script on the hubs, Has anyone ever seen them before. I thing the seller just didn't see the wheels belonging to any other bike. Anyway, I am very happy with the find.

All the best,
