1930 Columbia Arch Bar Roadster Model No. H-8 - My 2013 Build Project

Cool story, great horns too. Jeez, I thought mine was a pretty clean original;
eBay find, a "buy it now" at a low price, I was at the right place at the right
time.

I don't know if you've checked their site recently or not, but Ghisallo is slowly introducing a Carbon Fiber lining to their wood rims which will allow higher inflation pressures for wood rims. I consider this quite a valuable improvement, as the wheelbuilder of my wood rims (C.B. Italia, not Ghisallo) threw away the instructions, and I blew off the side of the rim because of overinflation.

Thanks Elginkid, Yes I saw they had added the carbon fiber to I believe the sport profile. I am close to being ready to order them & plan to ask on the Balloon profile. I am not a lightweight at 250 lbs so the carbon fiber would be nice. Thanks again.

Larmo63,

Both mine came off ebay too. One on right I did OK on, one on left was right pricey buy-it-now but too good to pass up. Glad you are watching this thread since you had a big hand in getting this frame back to LA safely, lost trailer & all, LOL. Sure it was not funny at the time. Thanks. - Gary
