The CXP22 refers to the rims only. Not a bad rim but it is the build of the wheel that is important.

I am not a lover of OM wheels or wheels that I have never heard of but providing the shop has a good wheelbuilder- get the shop to detension the spokes and retension and retrue before you buy the bike. Any faults from the Machine building of the wheels will be eliminated.
