My next mention. I have a set of these laced to Velo Orange Grand Cru hubs and they're wonderful. I didn't build them, so can't say how easy/difficult they are to work with. A friend & bike mechanic, who has a love of vintage, sometime uses Velocity Synergy. Seem to look similar to CR18's.
When I was deciding on my wheel build (only my 2nd set of wheels) for the '87 Miyata my wheelbuilder said that TB14, Pacenti PL23, then CR18's (those were the choices
I had come up with) were "easiest" to work with in that order, saying the CR18's were a little more challenging to get true than the others. That's when she suggested the Dyads. Now if you're an experienced wheel builder then this won't make any difference.
