    velocity areoheads, would have gotten them but got some new in the box deep Vs for $40us, so like 3quid.

    areoheads strong like deep Vs, light like wheels should be.

    think i might get these..http://www.shinybikes.com/bikes/mavic-ellipse-wheels-pair.html heard they are pretty soild plus no build required,all good.

    josh-i can take that dura ace off u if you ever wana get rid ;p

    I use Ellipse wheels as training wheels on my pursuit bike, but I wouldn't recommend you use them for work unless you can afford to run spare wheels whilst you wait a few months for the importer to get rims/spokes in stock. Same thing for all factory wheels... good til they break. Go for handbuilts, and if a spoke breaks, you can grab a replacement from any shop and you're up and running again.

    I'd recommend DT Swiss aero rims (deep section, lighter and better made than Velocitys) if you want the aero wheel look, with Goldtech hubs. Like Wayne said, Get Greg at London Fields to build them for you, he's forgotten more than you ever knew about bikes.

    There's not much he remembers about crashing at Eastway either!

    ...speaking as an Eastway Eater myself...

    Hog Hill should be ready at the end of the summer, you going to make your racing comeback there Bill?

    Lebowski. Coen brothers film. It's a bizarre insult, bit like something Captain Haddock might say.

    ''Pithecanthropic mountebanks'
    ‘Fat-headed fire-raisers’

    Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles.

    Still not as good as Twat or Gay though, or any number of other expletives that our beautiful language has to offer.

    how about we all call ourselves Gay Twats as a compromise?
