Nice! How much do the new wheels add to the weight?

No clue. With the wheels, the bike feels about 20 lbs, same as my Merckx. It was in the 18 - 19 range before. The wheels themselves did not feel significantly heavier than the ksyriums that were on there, just holding them a wheel in each hand.

Hmmm... food for thought.
Don't get any flats when you're stupid tired, okay.

I know - it is totally over the top. But I loved the juxtaposition of the red white and blue on an Italian bike. Now I wish I'd gotten something more benign. I actually didn't take it to France in 2003 because of how it is painted.
I think I will rename him "Barack"....Sarah

That's PURTY. And not just because I'm staring at the Record shifters, I swear. You'll have to tell us how the hub and lights work out, because I'm tempted to use the local bike store's wheelbuilding classes as a chance to put one into the tandem.

Looks very cool.
