Hi all
Looking to upgrade my Pro Lite Lucianos. I have around £300-£350 to spend. Ride on heavy undulating roads with plenty of hills to get over. (Straiton/Barr area where the Girvan RR used to run) Looking for something more responsive to the ones I've got. I am an 80+ kilo rider. What's the advice on the RS80's

    How do the AC Victory 30 rims compare to the RS 80's

    If you like the Pro-Lites get the Bracciano, I have a set and they're great. They spin up well, good bearings, never had to re-true them after 3k miles and several goes on the dreaded A9 Drumochter cycle path which is verging on mountain bike territory.

    I'm reading the RS80's have some flex in them when you get out of the saddle when climbing. Would I get a good set of ready to go, light hand built wheels for £350 ?

    I reckon so, everyone seems to rate this guy pretty highly:
