Bikes: '87-ish Pinarello Montello; '89 Nishiki Ariel; '85 Raleigh Wyoming, '16 Wabi Special, '16 Wabi Classic, '14 Kona Cinder Cone, 2023 Surly Disk Trucker

+1 for Wabi's. Got my new Special a couple of weeks ago and as 235 lb 6'3" rider they have held up to the daily commute to work just fine. I agree with others, for $225 I don't think any other brand can come close to these. Have you looked at the 1,475 Gram (for a pair!!) Sub 15 wheels that Wabi sells for $275? WOW!!

Anyway the regular wheels are light, fast, strong, professionally built, tensioned, trued and pre-stressed. I just bought a 30 year old Raleigh touring bike that I plan to put a pair of Wabi's on to and turn it into a true old-school/chopped "track bike"...er, fixie...
