I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the Williams wheels, I'm sure they are very good, my point is this guys made it sound like they were handed down from the heavens or something.
I hear you, I'm just kidding around. There were many quality wheels in my price range to pick from and the decision to go with Williams was based on a discount from Keith, his awesome responses to my questions, and the immediate availability of the wheels. I think it was something like 2 days from payment until I had the wheels delivered to my house.
I've actually replaced these on my main bike with a handbuilt set of Zen Cycles wheels that are a fair bit lighter. The Williams are now rocking on my LeMond which serves as a backup/rain/night bike.
