Rim ID?

Trying to ID the rims on the bike I just picked up. Here is the best decal pic I have. Any help?

Only going off of the decal remains, it looks more like the "al 1320" model since there is a 70....visible where the 700c is on the al 1320 decal.

They are staggered eyelets.

However, I have read that the 1320's came into play @ 1976. If the rims are original to the bike (they are french like everything else), juvela says the crankset on the bike was ending @ 1975 and he thought the bike was earlier....then the rims might not be the al 1320's (or not original to the bike)

Yep - strangely they don't come up for me in a Velobase search for Rims > Rigida.

Measuring the width will determine whether 1622 or 1320. Both were available in 700c.

The Rigida model numbers were based on the rim width: the model 1320 measured 13mm inside, 20mm outside. The model 1622 measured 16mm inside, 22mm outside.
