Marko.........I hold you personally responsible for these:


At least that's what I'm telling my wife. Haha!
Hopefully she may never find out that these bad boys are worth almost as much as the bike. Although I did tell her the truth that I got them for one hell of a deal though.

OOo i love roadbikes and miss it, just cant find anymore time to spend on the road nowadays...

Just out of curiosity what does the bike weigh now? I'm rocking my all mountain 19.5lb Norco Fluid One:

And my Devinci Remix SL1 XC bike sitting at 21.2lb - wife or daughter use this bike now

If you're cycling to get in shape I find that cheaper and heavier gives a much better work out, that's why I have my Costco bike that sits in the shed all year. Just thinking of it right now is making me skinnier!

Nice wheels (literally). In modding bikes I've always reduced rotational weight as much as possible, as I notice a huge difference. I've never been overly concerned with stationary weight, as that doesn't really seem to have too much of an effect.
