What brand are these golden rims?
Hello, I just bought a set of 700C wheels, but they only have 1/4 of a sticker and I can't Identify them.
I know, the quality of the pictures have seen better days.
But anyway, can someone recognize what those letters stand for?
Thank you
EDIT: I think they are Ambrosio's but I still don't know the model

What kind of hubs are they laced to? I'm thinking Araya, but someone else will definitely chime in and offer a correct suggestion.

Anyway, they are a set of Ambrosio Montreal, just like the ones in this link:

the Montreal name fits right in with the gold anodising
1976 was about the year several rim manufacturers began offering gold road model wheel rims
if you pop off one of the Tipo hubs' locknuts you will likely find them to be close to that annum...

I've always wanted a pair of gold anodized rims, but always thought more about the Mavic d'OR. Can't complain still, as I found these by "accident".
That sticker complete stands for: "produced in Italy". I had another ambrosio wheel with that same sticker.

you did not require the forum for this inquiry
you got it just fine all on your own
Montreal link: the 1976 summer games were held in that city
