What tubulars on Ambrosio nemesis rims?

Im planning on running 22 mm Giros on them for training. Because they are cheap, the tires...

I was always very happy with Conti Sprinters. Good weight, great profile. Never got a flat on them (luck). Not too hard to mount, got to the point I could do it without getting my hands sticky.

Im mainly concerned that 22mm wont bring out the potential of the nemesis´ . or are 25mm maybe not what the producer had in mind as 25 mm was rare at the time. The rims are 21mm in outside measurements i think.

And there was a debate about 25mm not seating good into these as the diameter of 25mm are bigger than the rim?

25mm will be fine.

Weren't those rims favored for use on cobbles?

They were probably paired with Del Mundos, at 28mm.

+1 on Sprinters but they don't have the classic look for a vintage bike.
