An earlier picture shows the rims labeled as MAVIC Module 3D. These were a hooked edge, box section rim for high pressure, wired-on tyres. These days, most people erroneously use the term clincher when referring to wired-on tyres and rims. True clincher tyres do not have a kevlar or steel hoop encased in the bead. You've ordered the correct style of tyre.

Thank you so much

Otherwise I would have had to cancel my order. More importantly, I would not have known how to "install" tubular tires ...

Cilo??
I picked up this cillo frame on Facebook marketplace and I'm having a hard time figuring out what model and year. Posting said 1980s. Serial is 33901. Any help is appreciated!😁

That‘s a very odd head badge and cilo font. Might be an export model, never saw anything like that here in switzerland.

Thanks for the link to the album! Hadn't quite figured that one out yet!
