Not for racing or to break speed records please. But for long rides, daily training, charitiy rides or possible centuries.
I was looking at the COSMOs, could that be it???

I agree that the CXP33, CXP21, and Open Pro's are good general purpose road rims. About a year ago I picked up a set of Open Pro's built on Ultegra hubs from Performance for $220 (for both wheels). They were built by WheelSmith wheels. Between the CXP21' and the Open Pro's I've clocked over 8,000 miles with only once requiring a minor 10 minute truing.
