well- I dooooo have an original pair hardly used at all I had from new on the anodised blue/purple TCR I bought when two vertbrae were broken: the adjustable stem still enabled me to race! Mine's got Giant rims in black, Shimano freehub takes 8/9 not sure about 10, but quite likely, I'm happy to sell if A N Other is interested.
Mine had the rear hub mod to stop it clicking, and has been fine ever since- carbon centre section -ooh la la lah!
BTW the spokes are plastic, not carbon, as some will have you think, and they're adjustable, to be able to true up a rim if needed.
PS spokes are in plastic as carbon ones would cost an absolute fortune to make in mass production, and be reflected in the original price of the wheels, and they weren't very expensive. They look carbon from a distance, and that's how they were described, but close inspection will reveal they're genuine plasimodo. A good aero rim though, whichever variety you look at.
