Quick, grab that bike before it falls over!!
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

[laugh] That's just the camera angle.  I was low to the ground when taking those pictures.

Nope.  Light wheels are completely over rated.   ;)

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. 

I think I can notice the difference w/ the lighter wheels, but it may be just in my head.  It is very subtle, but I notice it mostly when accelerating in the lowest gears.  There is a little less snatchiness and a little more acceleration.  I've only ridden it about 10 times since the new wheels and about half of those times I had a passenger.  So now it has been almost a month and it is almost impossible for me to remember how the bike felt before.

Maybe I missed it, but did you happen to weigh these vs the stock wheels?  ;)

I painted over my black (turned purple) anodized sprocket cover about a month ago.  It seems to be holding up fine.  It was a simple rattle can job.

Yes, we did the stock wheels versus the new wheels.  The stock front wheel was approximately 10.2 lbs.  The Carrozzeria front wheel was 7.9 lbs.  The stock rear wheel was 18.8 lbs.  The Carrozzeria rear wheel was 13.4lbs.  I'm pretty sure that adds up to a total of 7.7 lbs.

Ive got a set of Carrozzeria's on this bike.  The ones on hear appear to be powder coated as they have a small chip in the black coating.
