Sweet looking ride.

Not sure I would've chosen the CB wheelset though. Any specific reason for choosing them?

My first choice was Stan's Arch, but the CB is only 50g heavier and approx. R1500 less. My other option was American Classic, but I couldn't get the ones I wanted. I quite like the CB wheelset. Something different....

 

Cheers
