Looks like Roval wheels. Super light, super smooth. High flange is overrated many times. As to riding it, absolutely. On nice days. Never understood the too nice to ride mentality. Remember hearing a guy that owned a classic Aston Martin (I think) that was being raced at a circuit in England. Sterling Moss wrapped it into the armco and the owner didn't flinch. He basically said, look it was built to be raced. It can be fixed.

Keep the pedigree alive. Ride em.
