Surly Steamroller owners...

i am considering my next upgrade for wheels also. currently rocking formula to open sports. thinking the only proper upgrade would be phils to cxp 33, but, whilst being fucking lush, makes little sense having a wheelset worth as much as the frame, on a bike that i just rag around. i mean, sure, if stuff gets nicked now its gutting, but its fucking formula to open sport, hardly anything to cry over. but phil to cxp 33? that shit would be upsetting.

Why? I'd say wheels are just as important if not more important than the frame. On my old bike the wheels cost 3x the value of the frame. That was probably a little extreme but if you are skimping I don't think wheels should be the area to do it. Not that I'm saying formula on open sports are a bad wheelset and need replacing.
