Fairly nuts, yes. RS80s are the same rims and spokes, so all the weight saving and extra expense of the DuraAce is in the hubs. If you were going to ride a proper CTT style hill climb but still wanted to avoid tubulars, it might just about make sense. If you just want something for windy days, the C35 looks like a better bet, albeit £325 extra.
