i dont know why everyone gets pissed off about the whole colour matching deep Vs to your bike thing, they are slightly heavy compared to other rims but they are strong enough for this to be canceled out, also if you look at the majority of non fixed wheel bikes they are in some way colour coordinated, not just racing road bikes with handlebar tape and water bottles but with super high end hubs and rims (the new canecreek ones, for example) so why do some people automaticly think that just because a person has matched their wheels to the rest of their bike they therefore dont care about bikes or anything as much as they do or whatever.
as for the article, what a load of shit, the editor has a lot to answer for especially the use of a photo showing riders in nyc even though the article is about london and they even spoke with a photographer in london with a keen interest in bikes.
