on my PKN, I've got Mavic MA3 rims laced to set of older campy hubs. They look and work fine. Save the tubulars for occasions you want to show off the bike to other bike nuts, and ride on the clinchers.
I have clinchers on all 5 bikes, including my PKN. Tubulars were fun in the early 1970s when the only alternatives were 70PSI gumwalled 27 x 1-1/4" clinchers, but I gave up on them more than 20 years ago, in favor of 100PSI clinchers.

Follow Lance's lead: train on clinchers and race on tubulars.
