I had a set of SFQR built with Nisi rims 24" front for a LO Pro in the 80's Were excellent quality ,if the ones listed are of comparable quality you should be OK for what you have in mind .Are they present day manufacture or NOS?

Re:

Went for a pair of Zenith in the end . Found a good price online .Plus skewers included now.
I reckon they are made by the same factory that produces Gran Compe,badge engineered is all the rage.

I would of loved a pair of Royce large flange. Taking out a mortgage to purchase them .......Waxed l over their carbon titainium at the last bespoke £1,000 for a pair

Re:

I think Gran Compe and Zenith stuff is actually identical and made in the same factory to the same spec, bar the engraving/etching. I have a couple of Zenith stems which are Gran Compe without the branding.

Never found a Zenith equivalent of GC700 centre-pulls, sadly; that would have saved a few quid.
