Bikes: 34 frames + 82 wheels

Following up, I just got the wheels today and put the tires on without glue so I could check them out on the bike. It's pouring rain outside right now, so this is the best photo I could get inside my garage. I put a 16T x 1/8 Campy cog on it and a 1/8 Regina track chain with silver outer links. The neat thing is that the rear hub is a fixed/fixed flip flop, so when I use these on the track with my Concept I can warm up on the 16T and then flip it over and race on a 14T. The quality of these wheels is very good, the hubs are super smooth and all the hardware is top quality. The only issue I had was that the rear wheel was not very true and was 3-4mm off center, so I had to true it up. The front wheel also needed some minor tweaking. I'll take an easy ride without the tires glued on so I can see if they need any further truing, since they have internal spoke nipples that require tire removal for access. I think my FG looks much better w/o the beater wheels, and these carbon deep Vs go real well with the aero tubing on the frame. It will be interesting to see how much if any difference they will make aerodynamically.
