From a short google search it seems like very dated technology, shunned by racers. I was thinking about putting this on a bike to ride around town for errands instead of racing, is tubular a stupid idea for that application? This wheel is much cheaper than others listed, and I wonder if its because its tubular or because there aren't enough close pictures or something else. thanks.

FIFY

For $200, you can get a semi-modern carbon tubular wheelset locally, but not as attention-getting...
