Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

This is the second set of wheels I’ve built for Daniel in Auckland – the first pair was for his stunning Look. Originally these were going to be clinchers but after riding the other tubular pair Daniel wanted another set of tubs.

Ambrosio Nemesis rims are quiet possibly the worlds rarest rim and are very hard to get. Their Italian made, and the brass counterweight at the valve adds some serious style. These rims were made famous by the one-day Paris > Roubaix race where, even in modern outings, old-school rims are preferred by many riders.

This pair is destined for a custom Hampsten MAX similar to the one I drooled over last Friday.
