Wood Rims at Interbike

I can't get close enough to this bicycle.

One of the highlights at this year's Interbike trade show is this Colnago track model; equipped, to my delight, with a pair of Ghisallo wood rims built onto Campagnolo Record track hubs. What a knockout!

It seems I wasn't the only one impressed, see slowtwitch.com.

FYI, I used a pair of Corsa rims, butted spokes, 36 per wheel, crossed 3. Combining a Brooks leather saddle and leather handlebar wrap with Colnago's framebuilding magic created quite a show stopper. Hard to imagine any other wheelset to complement this package.
