I went with handbuilt because I wanted a wheelset that would give me a compliant ride, was lightweight and built appropriately for a 105 lb rider. Besides, I was building my dream bike and I wanted the nicest wheels I could get. The set weighs 1185 grams.

My SO has Shimano 7700 wheels on his IF, he does not like them and just received his new wheelset from Jeremy. He was able to demo the Krysiums and liked them but chose to go with handbuilt instead.

I use 650c wheels and I read somewhere that a 650c wheelset built the same as a 700c wheelset was 25% stiffer. So I didn't trust that I could get a wheelset from a company that would meet my small persons needs. Even Lennard Zinn agreed that I should use a wheelbuilder instead of a stock wheel!
