Jet, I love how that bike came together. Also, weren't you on a white Ciocc when you snagged that part from me? It was gorgeous, also. I guess you're just a fiend for C&V class.

Well, I can't contain myself about these Chris King wheels. They're outstanding general riding wheels. I'm running them on my Major Jake and its like night and day between the junky old wheelset and this new one. The rear is noticeably stiffer when pedaling out of the saddle, and the front is ... well... a front wheel? If you have the $$ to spend, or you happen to find these hubs for a good price, get them. They're worth it.

Perhaps a year or so after getting the Bad Boy this fall, I'll invest in some DT240 disc wheels. What's the word on 6-bolt versus centerloc disc? I know centerloc was Shimano's baby, but does it have staying power?
