They're in the cellar, the wheels are still cranking. One of these years I'll have to replace them.

OTOH, you prob weigh 100 pounds less than I do, and the Open Pros are what I would ride if I was under 200. Although it is such a pain losing weight that if I ever do get to 200.... I may blow a grand just on wheels to celebrate. That or a custom frame. But I digress... Open Pros are, IMHO, the best general purpose road rim on the market. Btw, the wife has the ceramic pair, the brake coating wears fast. I think Ultegra hubs and OPs are a perfect match.
