Need to be "cool" and "hip" in my advanced years.....

    The hipster tax alone for deep rim fixed wheels would be £100 :P

    Not under £100 I'm afraid.

    Most folks I know use Halo Aero Rage (approx £150) or Miche Xpress (approx £170).
    Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
    Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
    Sun - Cervelo R3
    Winter / Commute - Dolan ADX

    If you shop around (eBay) you might be able to get a Weinmann DP18 wheel set for sub £100. Avoid anything off a Create bike!

    Might be better to look second hand.

    Hmm - I may have to save for another month.....

    I do like the Px wheels, but would like to go deep rim, so to speak.

    Are Velocity any good?

    Deep rim? Extra weight, extra price, crappy in the wind and make you look like a ponce? Okay...
