I think my real issue is that as much as I'd love some 1200gram carbon American Classics or a set of Zipp firecrests, they would set me back about a grand then promptly get fucked by the first coffin sized pothole they hit.
Anyway, even with alu it's not all about the weight-well built wheels made from nice rims on light, well put together hubs that don't need their bearings serviced every three months are a joy to ride on compared to a set of Fulcrum/Shimano whatevers.
