This pair of pre-owned Mavic 700c tubular rims offers the exact architectural profile sought by classic wheel builders and vintage restoration specialists. Designed with a 36-hole configuration (36/36H), these aluminum hoops provide the structural integrity and period-correct aesthetics required for vintage road racing events like L'Eroica.
Classic French Rim Engineering
As a key component for retro-cycling projects, these rims preserve the classic braking surfaces and construction standards of mid-to-late 20th-century cycles. They are designed exclusively for tubular tires (glue-on tyres), ensuring a historically accurate ride feel and profile. If you are rebuilding a vintage hubset, you can pair these rims with classic components such as the Mavic 500 RD Vintage Bicycle Rear Hub 36H or alternative Jantes RECORD 700c Tubular rims to complete your period-correct build.
Condition and Inspection Note
These are second-hand components. Minor cosmetic imperfections, micro-scratches, and surface wear from previous use and long-term storage are present. The photographs form an integral part of the description; please examine them carefully to assess the precise cosmetic state, eyelet condition, and wear markings prior to purchase.
FAQ
Are these rims compatible with standard clincher tires?
No. These are tubular rims, meaning they are designed strictly for glue-on tubular tires (boyaux) and cannot accept standard hook-bead clincher tires.
What is the spoke hole count of this pair?
Both rims feature a 36-hole (36H) drilling configuration, which is standard for classic, durable vintage wheel builds.
Are there any structural cracks or severe flat spots?
Any major structural defects are noted in the description. Minor cosmetic marks from previous use and storage are visible in the high-resolution photographs, which represent the exact items.
