These are pretty awesome. It would be nice to see some bikes with these on them.
I dig the high-flange front hub.
What do you guys think?
1545 grams.

Pretty nice looking. I wonder how much stronger, if any, the use of the high flange hubs gets them. I wonder if American Classic is looking for a 230lb rider to see if they can beat up their wheels....they might look nice on my bike.....

Right now, I'm riding a 2090 gram wheeset and while they are heavy they are pretty stiff and absolutely bulletproof.

That 120 psi limitation wasn't listed there just a couple days ago.

Thanks for bringing us all these wheel threads lately, 53-11. I'd like to get a new wheelset in a few months and this is helping me decide what I need. Thanks!
Anybody know the price of this wheelset?
