the saavedra's on my vanilla work for me. non-machined / tubular.

The Ayaya World Champion tubular I have on the front of my Yamy is very pretty. I polished it before the build and it has very organic shallow V shape. Light too.

Yay! I get to post these again, the best looking rims on the planet:

No machining, in fact no flat to even speak of, just one smoothe curve from the apex to the tire. EAI Arrow Super Turbo clinchers. Wheeeee..........

As mentioned before, the CXP-12's are really nice. I was originally looking for a set of Campy Atlanta's or CXP-30's but the CXP-12's are a nice shallower non-machined, smooth V with a sharp point which met a lot of my criteria.

are those still in production? they look just like the araya sa30 i've been trying to find a mate for these past couple of years...

love my rear Atlanta '96. In fact, I'm always looking for one to match in the front. Right now the front is Mavic Open Pro -- a little soft for my taste. This is my commuter bike, and it needs to be tough. I've had to true the Open Pro several times; the rear never.

sadly, they're not. i'm pretty sure that judah (the b*stard) bought the last NOS ones on the planet.

on the upside, they weigh pretty close to 600gm/rim so he pays every time he tries to accelerate :D

(on the downside, once he's rolling :eek: )

Haha, but that's my training/pimp bike, the Walker feels like a feather after riding that beast :p

Seriously though, they weigh a damn ton, and yeah, I bought the last 4 NOS in existance. Got 'em from Don who got 'em from a warehouse somewhere...

Vittoria Pista CL 19 tubular 135gms


885gms (without tubular)

that is one seriously hot wheel. Wow, me likey.

Matrix IsoC the ones made by Trek back in the waterloo days....semi aero not machined brownish bronze colored and 32 holes (but no eyelets) look sweet, just the right profile

I don't care. Get me a pair of old-school, square-shaped, non-aero, non-anondized, silver rims. Yeah, NOW you're talking!

I know a shop uptown that has these. I saw them in the window last week and they look beautiful.
are they hard to find?
