Nice wheelset! Ambrosio Elite 19's were the first lightweight rims I ever bought to mod up my Peugeot PH10s back in the 80's. Strong but lightweight. I got the black hard anodized version. Really pretty on my bike. Tires were a bit hard to put on, but got very easy after the foldable beads in the turbo got stretched a bit.

Understatement of the year. 
I haven't managed to get a set of 700c tires on mine, tried about four different new tires. I did get a pair of 27" rims to seat and and inflate on them. Too scared to ride them that way, though

I wonder what the chances are that I could find a 7 speed Shimano cassette for that threading.

I have a set of these that were built up on Nuovo Record hubs around '80, and have never had troubles with them either, including tire mounting. I had more trouble with a new pair of Conti GP4Seasons on a set of Mavic MA-2s, though I think I read where Contis have gotten tighter in the last couple of years or so.
