Faux-classico rims (H+Son TB14)

[Look585]

I love the TB14 as an all around, nice looking, wide&low profile rim. I'd have loved to find some NOS mavic/campy rims, but whoa $$$.

So I had decals printed up for some Faux-classico fun...

These will get laced to some bling hubs:

Mavic MR601
Record OS Silver
Record Black

meh.

i'm personally not a fan of fake branding items. H+Son rims have a good following and stand on their own.

Who'd ya get to print those? I need some graphics for a project of mine.

(It is NOT making my Camry pretend to be a BMW. That's pathetic.)

TB14s are great rims. A rose by any other name?

I have a trio or 'more or less' NOS (as in lightly used, but not 'ridden' much) Campag Omega XL clinchers I could be talked out of. 32h

Waited YEARS for these guys and finally found a set. ...then didn't have a classic bike to put em on. That was also about the time I went 11sp.

As any wheelbuilder will tell you, TB14s are far superior to any 15 to 25 year old sub 400g rim.

I agree, but they're NOT classic rims. If you HAVE to have em for that build, well... Nothing compares to the original rims.

:rolleyes:

You'll probably be even less excited when I tell you the Campy hubs will get a Shimano11 FHB and Ultegra cassette.

Decals came from www.wanit.co.uk. Loads of fake branding opportunities to make your friends Angry... :beer:

just to be clear - not angry :beer:

it's just bike stuff, and i'm a firm believer people should roll on whatever makes them happy:hello:

This. The TB-14 is great. Faking is fine if you are making a movie and need to look period correct.

Just do it.

Oh, if I had seen this guy when I was repainting my LeMond and desparately wanted a new HT badge....

[velofinds]

I think that's great actually, and the decals came out nice :beer: Agree with the OP that it is about having fun, not attempting to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. Different ball of wax than badge engineering on cars IMO.
