Hey Cheapvega. Sorry for posting on the old topic. Could you pls share the size of your frame? I would love to submit your weight to my weight weenies listings website if you don't mind.
No worries- I still have the bike so it's current! Frame is a size 54.

In the ~17 or so months I had this build, my priorities shifted. The more riding I did, the more I realized I didn't really value WWism as much as I thought I did. Comfort and speed were more important. So I went back to 2x and a padded saddle. Final nail in the coffin wa the back Tufo S3 going flat, and the incremental cost of a new aero clincher wheelset + clincher GP5Ks being not being much more than a set of quality tubulars that I frankly wasn't looking forward to mounting.
So I grabbed a set of 60mmx28mm ELITEWHEELS, 28mm GP5Ks and latex tubes. Next and hopefully final change will be a set of integrated aero bars.
I like the new look. I was a little faster on an old set of 23mm GP4Ks and alloy clinchers so I'm really hoping this will be an even better improvement, especially on comfort. I do need to put more tape on the valve extenders though

How have you found the wheels? And do you know which model they were specifically?cheapvega wrote: ↑Mon Oct 03, 2022 7:48 pmIn the ~17 or so months I had this build, my priorities shifted.

I am pretty sure these are the exact wheels (60x28mm):

They are great. Whole wheel + tire combo is probably like 600-700g heavier than my last set but this setup is so much faster even up hills. I love the sound they make cutting through the air too. Only downside is they are more susceptible to crosswinds.
