From Yojimbo's:
I almost bought a set today to go with the Colnago's red and deep yellow scheme and while it actually did look good, it's just way too much bling for me.
I went with blue FIR's.

Do they keep it open still during off-race hours?

thanks. I love my gios. I ride it the most out of any of my bikes. i am pretty sure unless you train at the OTC they will not let you on the track in the off season.

BUT, with the surly in that baked bean colour, I think that would be perfect. Reason being, the brown is sort of dull and sits back in the overall -- it doesn't announce itself. That way the rims would stand out and pop and also blend in better due to the hues being closer on the palette.
I personally think it'd totally would look good on that bike. Perhaps the first time I've ever thought gold rims would look good on a particular frame.
