Builder (Enigma) thinks dark label will look better. But I’m thinking maybe bright label, because unlike the old bright label Boras, the bright label WTOs almost seem light gray (rather than white). I’d ideally like the graphics to match the grey “record” in Super Record 12 graphics.
While I only had the dark Boras i used to spend a lot of brain power deciding what goes best with whatever bike photo online. Now I have also a bright set and decided the devil is not that black. The darks are not truly stealthy and the brights are not exceedinly blingy, meaning they could both look good on most frames.
I'd say it is first a question of tires., If you like tan walls, get dark. Black tires, bright label. You want the whole bike impression to be a bit stealthy, get dark. You want a bit more bling, get bright. The red bits on SR match the red on the bright. The brushed metal of the frame does not collide with that red either.
I see a set of the new Bora WTO 45 for sale here:

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.
For the 2019 season:
They’re 28’s. Poor roads around me so the Hell of the North ones are much more suitable. Ridden over the winter on a different bike with no flats.
Not me.....
First ride time and I can only echo what ChrisV said. Dry roads here so got out for a 40 mile test ride.
These wheels are bloody good. I'm not running them tubeless at the moment. I wanted to just change one thing so am running 28mm Turbo Cottons with latex tubes. They come up at 28.2mm on these, against 27.1mm on the Ultra 50's.
They're very comfortable and give a smoother ride than the Ultra 50's (which will now be going up for sale). That extra width seems to help there. They roll beautifully and my word are they laterally stiff. I tried hard to see if I could get any brake rub, and failed. I run my brakes close as well. The look superb on, but beyond that they're a very, very fine wheelset. For the money they're a real find. Having tried both Zipp 404's and Enve 4.5's and having found both a little flexy for me (80kg and quite a punchy rider) these absolutely hit the spot.
Well played Campag. I'll be adding a set of the 45's for my other bike once they're released.

How long will it usually take for 45WTO Bora’s to be available in shop?
Can be a very nice wheelset.

They’re imminent but will be supply constrained as with most new Campag releases (also pre-orders).

Further update on the 60’s. Anyone in the UK will know we’ve had some pretty windy weather. Today seemed a decent one to test out how these handle in about as windy conditions as I’d want to ride in.
The answer is bloody well. 30mph crosswinds are obviously noticeable but there’s no sense of the front wanting to tuck in. They’re very stable indeed and better than I’d expect a 60mm to be in those conditions.
In other news I should have a pair of the 45’s later this week.
