^Cheers, reckon you're right there.
If that's what they are, then it's no wonder the wheels are so light; only 270g per rim according to weight weenies! Omega's come in at around *470*g, and aren't tubs, so although they look good, they'll be a substantially heavier wheelset. That said, Campy Oldy does have readily available NOS pairs for £75, which is veeery tempting. Record Strada tubular rims are a bit lighter at 370g, and might be a good alternative, and Sigma Strada are 345g, but have blue stickers (which just might look good in a primary colours kind of a way).

As you can tell by now, my priorities are getting a little confused, but I reckon my requirements are now (in no particular order):
-made by Campagnolo, black, tubular, light as possible, with decals to match the colour scheme.
Decisions decisions!
