no, I am not getting kysriums--I just think they'd look cool without the graphics. The 06' mavics look ugly as hell (way too busy).
I am looking at American Classic Hurricane's or DT's with RR 1.1's and 240 hubs--Mike Garcia would probably be the one I'd call for these. Not a lot of reviews out for the Hurricane's though--but any wheel rated at 235lb that is 1500g has gotta be tough as hell. I liked Bontrager Race Lites, but I always wondered what would happen if I broke a spoke--not interested in low spoke-count wheels for this reason. Maybe even open pro's laced to chorus hubs, I dunno. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
