Cheers for that, still surprised they were worth that much. The rims on mine are Italian FIR not the Rigida, they seem in good nick and are nice and light, at least by retro standards. Will be keeping the bike - looks like i've been pretty lucky at the price i'm paying.

Some of the prices the Italians etc. ask can be ridiculous. I wonder if they actually get them. This would be over £700 with the carriage.

agree, I keep my eye out for an old Alan, there's a big difference between the uk auction prices and the german/italian BINs

Does seem a very excessive price, I'm not under any illusions that mine is worth that much!
Good to know you can occasionally get spare spokes. Tbh i'm probably selling the wheels soon, got some NOS rims with old fashioned steel spokes being built up so wont have any use for these, plus im not sure they suit the bike too well.
