New Wheels

I am the excited owner of some new wheels - red, black, white and shiny! Perfect for my Masi colourscheme! And just in time for the City of Perth Great Bike Ride that I mentioned in a previous post, coming up this Sunday, 25th November!

Here's a couple of small pics, with links to larger pics as well:

A lovely set of built up wheels from an Australian chap named Greg Ryan. Greg has a presence on the web - here's the url:

TWE Wheels

Rims are Easton Tempest IIs, with sapim cx aero blades (24 front and 28 rear), black anodized DT look-alike taiwanese hubs, and red anodized nipples! Gorgeous. And fairly light to: 730gms front and 950gms rear (with skewers), which is slighter lighter than my current Dura Ace WH-7701s with skewers. Looking for a bit more stiffness from these, so we'll see how they go.

Greg is a great bloke to deal with and his build quality is superb. I'll report back after the ride on Sunday! Can't wait!
