All the major vendors offer reconditioned (welded & remachined, 
straightened & stress-relieved) Campys in most sizes, at competitive prices. They all 
treat the rims much as I described. What most guys don't realize is how much 
mounted alloy (both aluminum and magnesium) rims flex in hard cornering! 
They do not have an easy life, for sure. FWIW- J Deryke
