Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You can easily rebuild the MA3s. Not so much with the R540's rim design (spokes through the rim). They don't use it anymore for a reason. A well-built MA3 should gives you years for trouble free service and can be easily repaired.

I have a pair of Veloce/MA3 wheels. A bit on the heavy side, but flat out indestructable.
