Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

2004-2005 model.

Spokes are the biggest tell.

Aluminum hubs with Record class internal components.

All Eurus spokes are bladed, but the 2006 and newer wheels use big, flat, almost rectangular shaped spokes that are as deep as the older model's spokes are wide. They look similar to Fulcrum's and Mavic's spokes on their more expensive wheelsets.

Mine seem to stay true pretty well but having to yank the tires is a pain.

Lucking into some carbon tubies so mine can go down the road. Priceless

Indeed.

Campy's medium profile wheels have some pretty tall rim walls.

I think they can be as old as 2002 (?). I got my set at about that time. They are bombproof and a friend of mine is riding them now.
