    Bought in 2012, although I can't find original emails! These were 800 euro at the time (without tubs), the tyres were about 50 euro each.

    Front is the original tub (still going!) and the rear is nearly new.

    From what I remember: Gigantex 50mm tubs, Novatec superlight hubs (I think!), sapim cx ray spokes (1 non original front spoke now)

    I'll get some photos up later. Selling as we have too many wheels and I can just borrow my partner's Prime Wheels whenever needed.

    These are really, really solid wheels, I don't think I ever had to true them.

    Asking: 300 euro

    Very interested. What's the freehub body? Campy or Shimano?

    I think I actually have both! Originally Campy, then swapped to Shimano. I'll dig it out later when taking photos.

    They look great... which is a shame because I really don't need them (like NEED them, y'know?!)

    €250?!

    Understood. I think that's just a little too much on the low side. Let me think about it overnight!

    No rush my end. These are the very definition of an indulgence, so no pressure at all!

    Hey Dave, I think I'm going to hold on for the asking.

    Bit like yourself, I'm not in a rush to sell and maybe when racing appears again these might be more appealing to folks.

    That is fair. I haven't raced in years and am unlikely to do so for years yet (in the family way, y'know?!) so I really don't need these, even if I would really, really like them!

    Good luck with the sale, they're great value at €300.
