Saw yours at kremetart :eek: WOW!!

 

Heheheheh. Thanks. The Lightweights was a childhood dream of mine. Bit the bullet after saving 18 years for them.

Definitely worth it.

 

A pretty bike makes you WANT to go pedal outside!

Don't go half way. Save up and buy something you want. Otherwise you are just going to keep on dreaming about what you really wanted. ;)

wheels will make or break a bike .

 

you can have a great frame / bike but have sub std built wheels and it will feel and handle like cr..p .

 

best thing you can do is fit the best wheels you can afford , it will improve the bike more than we can ever tell you .

So what do you guys recon should be the priorities for wheels? Weight, Aero or looks?

 

Personally I would go with weight as let's be honest, unless you one for going on the attack and TTing (or falling out the back of the peloton), aero wheels aren't going to make a major improvement.

i say weight / strength ( stiffness ). looks not important , they must function .
