FTW MATEGUA, White Ind. Hubs, German A forks, and on the large one, wooden Ghisallo rims with tubular tyres.

Nice. That makes me think I should clean mine.

Tell me more about the wooden rims - are the actually made of wood???

Yes Wynne, Ghisallo rims, made in wood, for tubular tyres and weighing in at 420 grams

Here you can only see road rims, but we had them build some 29er hoops. The first proto was a bit heavy, but these are very light. Very comfortable hoops, especially goon on alu stiff bikes....
