Re Archetypes. Im fairly sure teh change in ERD came after they thickened up the spoke bed. The first b atch of archetypes all weighed 450g, now they are 470.

The ERD is 592 and it's always been 592... the 450 grams is a bit of a legend... I have never seen any of that imaginary crop... and I've been building them for over 2 years now... they first landed in the UK in the spring of 2012... I built the first around September 2012... the only thing that changed is the grey was light and matt and now it's dark and shiny

Not imaginary. I have two, grey anodised. I weighed them both and they came out at 450g +-2g. I know this because when I built my burls, I weighed everything to satisfy my spreadsheet OCD.

For reference, these were bought in October 2012 from BLB.
