My plan is to work at dropping 50lbs and also see how serious I get back into riding.
FYI - the front is radial straight, Camagnolo Proton 700x32C. The rear is cross spoked Campagnolo Asymmetric 700x32C.
It is a great bike for the price if you know anyone that might be interested. DuraAce levers and rear derailleur and Ultegra brakes and front derailleur.
Again thanks everyone!
Get the bike, just get different wheels.
As has been said, the builder makes the difference. I used to carry spokes on long rides and had to true the wheels weekly until I found the right guy. Now I never break a spoke.
