I also really like the look of the radial. I just don't think i'd want to ride radial on the streets. Having never owned a radial wheel, i don't know just how they compare in strength to a 3X. But i do know that constantly riding over really shitty roads has an effect on my 3X wheels, which are pretty well built, and i wouldn't want to be continually truing them if they/the front was radial.
