Great looking bike!
I snapped two (hoshi) spokes on my 14h front shamal and it was still rideable without having to even open the QR (actually there isn't - chorus skeleton) on the brake. Rebuilt the entire wheel with Campy spokes and nipples, ****ing amazing now.
Sheldon was right, those hoshi spokes did suck.
