They look awesome so far. What are the specs? A23 rims?

The hubs look pretty dang great as well. I haven't been around long enough to identify them. Still digging around with the possibility of a new wheelset sometime over summer or fall. Considering the Flo 30s once they are released, but getting a handbuilt pair is looking more and more tempting every day. If I can ride for the LBS, I'll probably ask him to build me a wheelset. (Stan's No Tubes 340 rims with Chris King hubs, spokes and nipples open to suggestions).

Still trying to dig up more info on hubs. I want quality, long-term use. If I were to cut down to Velocity hubs or something I could save about half of what I'm looking at with my current build.

Tallying up possible gram saving upgrades. If I go Flo 30, I could afford a new cockpit (narrower handlebars would be ideal) and seat post, or go with the handbuilt set and just get a new cockpit OR seatpost. Any thoughts or considerations? (Feel free to PM me) - I love to discuss this stuff and this is the only place I can go for it.
