Those wheels would finally get me to change to Tubulars. Right now I have a pair of 1276g EDGE 45 clinchers in the garage waiting for a move but these babies would be the ones to get.

What, and increase the weight of the bike by about 100 lbs? I don't think those are WW wheels...

He's currently running AX Lightness SRT24s, which weigh 810g the set. Those funky wheels might look interesting, but they will be no match for GoldKnight's current set. Having a set of AX SRTs myself, I can say they are truly amazing rims--I can't imagine how to improve on them in a wheel set. (And they can be repaired and rebuilt since they use regular spokes, hubs and nipples.)

With the latest bump does it mean you've done some updates?
