I picked up a pair of deep section carbon fiber tubulars (sold by Fetish Cycles.. they're probably rebranded something or others) from Cypress (the BF member). I was planning on being able to convert between a road freehub and fixed gear with a Surly Fixxer so I could use them on my road bike, but they didn't have the right kind of hub for that. Replacement ones were hard to find because few people make 24 hole hubs with the splined interface for freehubs. So I found a cheap 24h track hub with slotted holes (made my job easier because I already had bladed spokes). Currently it's being rebuilt and I can't wait to ride the pair, I think I lost over 700 grams compared to my Deep Vs.

I got some Vittoria Corsa Evo Pave CG tires (yep, the $100 per tire ones that lots of TdF riders use on the Paris-Roubaix stage, although I got them for cheaper) that are 290tpi so they should roll really smoothly. I'm excited.
