My thoughts, too.
I love the Wolber Aspins (with Campy hubs) that came on my Tommasini. Early 1980s vintage, 700c size, grey hard anodized aluminum alloy, and lighter than the 'light' vintage clinchers I have (Araya CTL370), at least when both have tires and are ready to roll. Somewhere I have actual weights and will post if I find them later today. If they were a good price, you might consider going back and nabbing them. I'd certainly buy another set if they were available without shipping and a good price.
