Picking up the new bike in a little over 4 weeks, I'll post some pics and any impressions of the wheels then.

Alan F ... I have NOT seen these in all my research. I only noticed the two you mentioned having used in the past. But, never the Stealth FCC 3.2. Wow, I like these and the looks compared to the Rolf Carbon. I left a voice mail for Mel at Tandem's East to ask if we can switch to these given they are ~ 100 grams lighter and, retail at least, $640 less expensive. So, fingers crossed.

Thanks for mentioning them!!

EDITED TO ADD: Alan ... these don't show up as a Tandem specific wheelset on Spinergy's website. Thoughts?
