I did consider them but TB14s are a bit too wide and heavy for what I have in mind:
390g vs 490g
19.6mm vs 23.0mm
marginal gains, etc ; )
*My checklist was something like this: *
light as poss
silver
32h / clincher
decent braking surface
20ish mm width
not too expensive
not too ugly (!)
I looked at Omega 19s from Campy Oldy (no breaking surface), Ambrosio Excellight (way too pricy), Ambrosio Evolution (bit too pricy, 100g heavier than open pro), Araya RC-540 (way too pricy, no breaking surface) and TB14s.
Open Pro just seems to be good value and tick all the boxes.
