And they mention it's for smaller - average guys. I'm 170ish tops...but judging by what people post around here...that seems heavier than average for a roadie. Will I crush these "carbon babies like a Pringle in a steam press" (to quote chainlove).

Also, I currently ride an Allez Sport...but am looking to upgrade (likely to a lower end tarmac). I noticed most of the Tarmacs I looked at come with lame wheelset. It would be safe to assume these would be an upgrade even from a stock tarmac wheelset?
