Re:

Hi, would you be interested in dark colour as well? I have a pair of NOS Mavic open pro 28h clincher rims.

Cheers

Not really as I am trying to match to a silver Open Pro rim with a rear C record hub. I have a loose C Record front hub which is 28H so need a silver rim that matches to the rear as close as possible.
Thanks for the offer though.

Thank you but I really need 28H. Looking at the on line dealers, 28H is available but only in dark. Silver is available in 32 and 36H. I guess I am looking for NOS as it seems 28H has not been made in silver for a few years.
About 15 years ago I bought a bike that had Campag Record hubs, 28H, on sprints and tubs. I wanted the wheels rebuilt on clinchers and Open Pro was about the only 28H in silver my wheel builder could find. Still have those wheels and they are in great shape. Interestingly, the price now of about £40 is the same as I paid then, so effectively they have become cheaper. They look appropriate on a bike from the 80s/90s but I am not so sure about modern versions as I have read they are now 4mm wider and there is a disc brake version, whatever that is !
