I think Weinmann used to be a real company. Based out of the Netherlands, maybe. They were common as dirt, and seemed pretty respectable, if unflashy. But they went belly up a number of years ago. Then the rights to the name was bought up and products put out there again. But they are all outsourced and rebranded. (Like almost everything else in the world today, I suppose.) So, our experience with their rims from the 80's is not really relevant. Maybe the newer stuff sold under their name is good, I really have no idea.
