Ndeipi-
They feel so good! I do far too many skids on them - they've got the perfect amount of grip when you need it, and they roll real quick.
They're not quite new rims, but almost. Likewise my rim of choice for the same reason! I had a set on this, my dad’s bike from around 2000 which I started upgrading once he’d got bored of it.

Wheels are D521s on LX.
I've finished the frame: linseed oil the inside, and done the "paint restoration". I really don't know if it was worth the effort. The paint is very chipped anyway, and if anything it just looks worse as I think I was a bit heavy handed with the waxing step as it's left lots of blotches of red wax all over the place. No before/after photos really show any difference. Perhaps because the frame is white, it doesn't make as much difference as if it were a bright colour that fades with time?
