ok,
yesterday i received a e-mail from Corrado Spada. He gave me some interesting data for the '04 wheels:
Clincer Wheels (700c) whitout Quick Releases
Spada Hubs with Alex Rims = 1320gr
Spada Hubs with AC CR350 Rims = 1240gr

Tubolar Wheels (700c) whitout Quick Releases
Spada Hubs with Corima Winium Rims= 1060gr
Spada Hubs with Zipp 280 Rims= 1020gr
Spada Hubs with Zipp 250 Rims= 960gr :shock:
I don't know the size of the ray. Normally Spada uses 2.0-1.5-2.0 Sapim Ray

Spada will produce the seatpost in the diameter of 31,6 but i don't know the weight. (I have the 27,2 version and it weights 140gr. I hope that the 31,6 version will weight 160gr)

I have ordered a set with AC CR350 Rim (1240gr Claimed)

Bye Bye
Ciao Zauri

I heard in the US $795.00pr with QR's (FRM)

Not heard anything about the Zipp 250 rim.

I think the rims are pretty stiff, American Classic don't list a pressure rating on their website, so you would think there isn't one.

My LBS has some Spada (posts) in stock, and gets wheels to order.

light-bikes.com lists some Spada, so maybe try them for mail order?

1060 is pretty light, but if you look at a lot of the other wheels used in cyclocross, its not that hard to imagine. Lots of riders use ADA, Lightweight and Reynolds wheels. Plus, If you have ever had a carbon rim like a reynolds in your hand, you know how much stronger they are then an alu rim any day
