Carbon rims did not even come out until the 1990's I believe.
Anyway, back on topic I agree best to get good wheels for current bike, and then when you get a new bike you can transfer the wheels as OEM wheels are often a weak link.
That, and ride more.
I think I am going to go this route, it makes more sense to get wheels first and then upgrade the bike after in my opinion. I want to build a bike from scratch, so I will be doing it over the winter and if I get the wheels now I can use them in the meantime while I save up some more money for bike parts. I appreciate the input from everyone though.
Now I just need to know if I got Williams or November, didn't hear about the Novembers until today but I read they are the same rim just a different name on the wheel.
