  • Well you can't mix and match shimano/Sram and Campag, so don't go for 105's if you're gong campag.

    I'd say the ideally on a frame like that would be ceramic open pro's, so you get that old school grey ano look, with longer lasting colour, and then silver spokes and silver hubs. Otherwise go silver, silver, silver.

    Personally I'd go A23 over Aeroheads, as they look the same and weigh the same, but are a little wider.

    However, on a frame like that I'd almost be tempted to go for something deeper - NOS Mavic CXP30s******* in champaign would be nice imo.

    ******* REMEMBER if you buy CXP30's make 100% sure they have the inserts!

    This guy's shop in Italy has them: http://www.ciclimontanini.it/index.asp?pagina=MAVIC-CXP30&PG=11&ID_PROD=1469&USO=S&ID_MARCA=%&ID_SOTT=315&origine=

    He's written English is good enough and he's very helpful. Rims are cheap, but postage brings them back up to what you'd expect to pay here.

    cant you get 105 hubs with italian cassettes ? that would work fine ?, black hubs. silver, silver , i dont know why. just does it for me.
    i have a23's on a steel frame . love em. wanted to try aerohead , they would be a bit more nimble on a lighter frame maybe ?.
    cxp 30's ..... would match the frame webbing really well , .......... those new h son rims look ace too with a similair shape , ...

    cheers for the input.
