Borrani - 18x3 - Record rim
« on: October 30, 2011, 04:57:24 PM »
Just a check for the Borrani rim experts.  I have located a rim that reads (exactly)    Borrani-18x3-Record   ...on the shoulder of the rim.

I normally find something like       Borrani WM2 or 3/ 1.85 or 2.15 etc.  It is an older shouldered rim mounted to the rear hub of a 70's Moto Guzzi.  As I haven't found any other vintage 18 by 3" wide Borrani/Record shouldered rims(to this point), I wanted to make sure that this was truely an 18 x 3" wide rim.  This would make it a WM5 rim correct? 

And Borrani/Record rims are later repros of the original Borrani rims, yes?  Are they considered inferior to the originals?  When were the Borrani/Records repros produced?  80's?

Thanks in advance...
