Wow, that really is something.
Although it probably rides nicer and feels better, gotta say I prefer it in the first pic, just looks 'faster'
i think the slammed stem and thinner rim of first build make it look faster, plus I just snapped a horrible picture of the bike , a better photographer not shooting on an i-phone could make it look better

I'm not familiar with Campag stuff. What caliper is that? And what width tyres are you running? I've got a tarck frame with the fork drilled but I have no idea how the fuck you'd fit a brake on...
Oh, lovely bike by the way. I do like those C2s. What are they like to ride on?
brake levers and calipers are both campy record, tires are 23c, but the wide Hed rims push them out to 25c
the c2 rim ride is way smoother than the last wheelset, really rolls over rough roads without as harsh a feel -
finished up the build, its a couple pounds lighter than the previous build so ride is definitely snappier, titanium phil lockring and hub internals (axle, hubcones, bolts) phil Ti BB, Chris king Ti headset, Ibis Ti quill, record Ti seatpost, Ti water bottle bolts, Ti brake bolts
Kinda dorked out on the Ti bits, but hey, it's a special bike
most likely will take off rim decals

I did it so I could easily take off brakes and cables IF I ever wanted to take it to the track
But honestly I like the way it looks
exposure? just sharin a badass bike
about rim choice.. they ride great, help in cornering as they support the tire more, light weight, strong, pretty solid all around rim
I was going for a lightweight wheelbuild, this build is the low flange phils w/ Ti peices, sapim cxray spokes, alu nips, rides great so far but time will tell
plus I have friends in bike industry and I got them at cost ;)
