I've read all the threads, and can't filter out the wheat from the chaff. I'm looking for a decent sets of wheels in the ~$800 ish range. I weigh 170 lbs, and have an 8 speed cassette.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.

What is your priority? Weight? Strength? Aerodynamics?

Well, you can get a "decent set of wheels" for under $300US (~350CD) ...Yojimbo_ said:Hello All

Cool..thanks. Not many people know the film I think. One of my favourites - obviously.FogVilleLad said:A second to the recommendation for having Mike Garcia - oddsandendos.com - build you a set of wheels. That's where I'll have mine built.
If cross winds are a problem where you ride, as they are in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'd tend to go with something other than the 30mm rims. Mike builds with three other rims, too. His Niobiums are light and eyletted.
If hills or rough roads are part of where you ride, you may want to request that he use brass nipples on the rear drive side.
PS, love your handle and remember the film.
