I'll let you in on a secret: Having tubulars is not a disadvantage. Actually they're slightly better than 700c clinchers, and well worth the time and trouble to learn the methodology necessary to use them. I'm currently running five wheelsets between four bikes - one set is clinchers. The next two wheel building projects are also tubular.
You really appreciate them when you get a puncture 35 miles from home . . . .
