I had OPs on my geared bike 'til it got stolen, and found them to be light and strong, as others have said here. I guess I'm thinking of CPX33s more for the look to be honest, although I don't have anything close to a HHSB.
The 33s are heavier, arguably stronger and slightly more aero. If I went for these i would probably go 32h fr and rr, black hubs and rims with silver spokes
The OPs are a known quantity to me in as much as I have used them before, and I would probably go 32h fr, 36h rr, pewter hubs with silver spokes and rims
I weigh 12 stone so thats not really too much of an issue.
In as much as Goldtech building them up, anyone else used them and did you have any problems?
Just thinking out loud here at the moment and appreciate all your thoughts so far.
Peace
Kurt
