Open pro/Dura Ace/DT Spokes/Zipp 404/PowerTap/Tubular/Clincher/Record/Mike Garcia wheels are the only way to go.

I've read many a post in the road forum that espouses the quality of sora and tiagra components. Check your LBS, find every bike that is equipped with said components, and then empty your wallet - you CAN'T go wrong :D

:eek: you forgot:

internal 3 speed hub w/
electricity generator for your head light
high flanges
ceramic bearings
coaster brake
dimples.

rim must not be machined for brakes,
use veloplugs instead of rim tape,
tubular and clincher compatible
all stickers removed and replaced with those cool holographic stickers
velocity's eggplant color
dimples.

duh.

For the record, Rosie would get dropped by The Donald, but the world would be better off if they fell into a vat of HCl.

We're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. We don't exist; We were never even born. Anonymity is our name. Silence our native tongue. We're no longer part of the System. We're above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're "them." We're "they."
