I'll give you £40 and buy you a pint?

And then we can discuss a price?!

Ha, gotta give you that one

I'd say about just over half of whatever you paid, because you've barely used them?

Might be interested in just the 50mm prime if you fancy selling that?

Yes mate, £40 makes it yours

Cheapest I can find it online is with the above link at £69

Amazing lens for the money, lovely shallow depth of field

Can't go wrong with the nifty fifty

Low res facebook images, but you get the idea...

What's the hub spacing? 120mm presumably?

Yes indeed

Thought so. Boo.

What spacing do you need?

@thross - my mate doesn't want them mate, to the next dibser they go!

Ok cool - @hudsoncjnr do you want the pair then?

If I can sell the Archetypes then yes!

We'll discuss at beers tomorrow!!

Ok cool. My Open Pros are waiting for me at home, so my current ones will just be sitting around from this evening onwards.

135mm at the back

Why on earth would you want to go from Archetypes to Weinmanns?

Whats the fascination with open pros? There are so many more rims out there that are far superior to those old timer mavics!

Well aren't you a pleasant chap

@Keppel

Proof of standing up to decades of abuse, the go-to strong training rims for probably millions of people, using the 'fashionable' eyelets and SUP rim joints years before H+Sons were even a company, a low profile section without being too boxy, not to mention that I've already got a French track frame, a Mavic 305 headset, Mavic 632 cranks and Mavic garms. Perfectly good fascination imo :)

Oh, and I also wanted them, and am incredibly happy with them, so it doesn't really matter if there are 'better' options, as they're the right option for me.

Thanks for the compliment!

Just wondering really, seems like a step backwards from my point of view

All the open pros that I have built lately have had terrible joins and haven't been particularly round.

I think Mavics quality has decreased in the last few years. Pinned joins are never good, welded is the way to go for sure.

I was unaware that you were trying to go for a mavic theme through the bike.

I was potentially interested in downgrading as they're only for my work bike and I'm funding a road build at present
