Thanks in advance

I've not ridden the Bracciano's, but I've read nothing but good things about them. I do have a pair of Luciano's though, which are entry level Pro-Lite wheels - I've only been using them for a month or so as winter training wheels but I've been impressed so far. The Luciano's are not light wheels by comparison to the Bracciano's but they roll very well (the bearings seem to be good quality and/or very well adjusted). I'd happily buy the Bracciano's myself if I were looking for a new set of wheels.

The best price for them that I am aware of though is not from CRC but from Ribble where they are 225euro (plus between £4 and £11.50 for delivery for delivery). Ribble inevitably seem to be out of stock of one or other of the Campag or Shimano versions though, and at the moment they only have the Campag version in stock.

I have a set of Braccianos and they are lurverly.I bought mine after fitting a set for a friend and being really impressed.
Mine were supposed to be my sunday best wheels but I left em on all last summer as I just liked the feel of them and only went back to my open pro/hopes for tubo trainer season.
My prolites have stayed true despite the state of the roads round my way and the bearings are buttery smooth after 3000 km.
I heartily recommend them.
