I wanted those rims too, (Omega 19 I think they're called), found some, turn out all I can find are 36 holes, as I need 32 holes.

best alternative? Mavic Open Pro CD in grey.

Not the 19, but very very nice Omega Hardox 700C 32h clincher set

Aero!

I want those Campagnolo rims.

I have two pairs :-)

any in 36h?

No, both 32. One black pair, the other silver

I believe the H+Son logo has been taped over.

Carbon rims not H+Son or B43.

that dark blue curly bike would look 100 times better without those wheels on it.

I can't help thinking the major axis of the drainpipe needs turning 90deg, given the loads it experiences. Teardrop tube is doing nothing useful there anyway. I'm not convinced, either, that crossover drive is the way to long rear BB spindle life on a track tandem.

I don't understand this post - could you put it in laymans terms please.

that merckx is pure classic, but the mismatched spok/hed combo on the blue semi lo-pro is like a vegas girl with two different size tit-jobs cuz she didn't have the readies for both at the same time.

wrong wheel choice

'Spok and tri is sooo anti.

I don't understand this post - could you put it in laymans terms please.

I think mitre tester wanted to express that:

• horizontal tube between both BB-shells should be oriented in horizontal plane to increase strength and stiffness, rather than vertical orientation.
  
• for the same tube, aerodynamic shape doesn't make any sense, because it's not in the clean air and it's almost 100% in te riding direction. E.g. teardrop / oval shape would make some"aero" sense on downtube or fork blades.
  
• he's questioning if one drive train on the left and one on the right makes sense on the track tandem because of (limited) life of rear BB axle. A double FC on the rear BB axle and both chains on the right maybe?
  
  

Well... nice thoughts.

I like it !

shame

thanks Mr Cheese.

wrong wheel choice

yes, front should've been 650

He's a nice fella, but totally fucked up this frame, it was gorgeous, Vitus Olympic tubing. shame on thee.

^ Lust!

I like the blue better myself. Such a great frame.

I cannot deal with some blues, there's no way to like it.*

Fizik have also produced a limited edition of the riders favorite saddle, the Arione. This Ki:um rail version comes with a neat red, white and blue stripe down the centre with matching finishing graphics. Although there are no plans to release the helmets the Kristian House Limited Edition saddle will be available through Condor Cycles in London at a price of £99.99 and due out just after the Tour.

Would also look nice on my new track bike. I'm not going to pay GBP 100.- for a saddle though.
