How many millimeters of spacers do you use? @fogman
5hit, this is hilarious. Kinda walked into that. And tonytourist piled on.
Fogman, don't worry. Typically it's just guys with less money resenting guys with more money (dentists, lawyer, doctors), who can afford high end race bikes but who didn't exactly grow up racing such bikes. These well off professionals tend to gravitate toward particular prestigious brands. This gets compounded when said prestigious bikes are set up like a beach cruiser. Imaking20's joke is subtle but a good one - captured the whole story.

Not terrible but yeah, not the best look. Gumwalls can be tricky on a white bike. The thickness of the tubes on the Pinarello would seem to call for a deeper wheel but it should be possible to get a decent look with a shallow set. It may also be greyish tone and the highly visible weave of the rims that throw things off a bit. Those exact same wheels look fantastic on my matt black Parlee with either gum walls or plain black tires. It' s weird how this works sometimes, and sometimes not.

Frustrating also as those Mavic's are nice wheels. I have been super impressed with them. They just feel so fast and solid for a relatively shallow, light wheel. But, if your buying tubular wheels and would rather not spend a fortune, there are many great second hand deals to be had as the carbon wheel industry continues to shift ever more toward clincher and tubeless. Ebay is awash with good condition tubular at decent prices - a good set of Bora's shouldn't be a problem. And there is LightBicycle. I wouldn't hesitate to have them build exactly what you want. You could get them without logos and the finish of your choice - IMO matt unidirectional would be the classiest look.
