new bike for wife

[7rider]

Let me clarify.....Tubulars have a superior ride quality than clinchers IMHO. This is not a fact but just my opinion.

An opinion shared by many, I understand, although have never experienced myself.

A friend recently built up a Colnago C50 for his wife, but opted for Edge composite clinchers (which where surprisingly easy to remove the tire from for deep dish wheels when we were out for a ride and she did flat). I wonder if he knows about all this stuff. He runs tubulars himself.

Beautiful bike, BTW. My friend also went with the black, white, and pink color scheme and it's a knockout.

I was going to go the Edge composite wheels also (beautiful and awesome wheels)....but the nipples are internal and since I true the wheels myself I would have to take the tubulars off everytime I needed to straighten them out. I went with the Zipps because the nipples are external. I think if Edge had external nipples I would have gone that route.
