Neo-Retro Vintage Bike Tubeless Wheelset Options

Building up a Colnago Master Olympic (130mm drop outs) and was wondering if anyone here has fitted a set of carbon tubeless aero wheels on their vintage bike. I know I can run "standard" earlier model ZIpps or Enves etc but now with the move to tubeless which has wider rims typically I don't know if they will actually fit.

They're not carbon tubeless rims, but I have fitted a 27mm ghetto road tubeless setup onto a De Rosa Neo Pro carbon bike, and another ghetto tubeless setup onto a Maruishi RX-5. Both bikes had enough clearance for bigger, fatter tires, but only just in the case of the Neo Pro.

Pics of the chainstay and seatstay clearances with your current wheel setup might help with an assessment.

Thank you! I think, based on what you said, I may hold for a little bit while I build it up. Once it gets back from the platers I'll put some nice HED Ardennes that I have collecting dust, see how it rides, and if I can get away with some 28mm/latex tubes I might keep it as is. You've got some gems in your collection! I met Barbara Tommasini at Eurobike a decade or so ago - good memories.
