Right. Miserable election night. So I feel like boosting the economy with some spending.

New wheels required for the mighty Cinelli Saetta Sprint. No Shimano please. Handbuilt a possible. 90kg, usual MAMIL stuff. Budget £350. Need something to cheer me up :( .
It's just a hill. Get over it.

    You obviously need SRAM Red (if you want to finish second that is)

    Given the lack of change in Downing Street you obviously need/want something very different:

    As you're not too far away from me (I'm in Bucks). I have a great set of handbuilts for you to try. Mine aren't for sale, but they're great wheels. Built by a prominent member here.
    Archetype rims and mono RS hubs, if you've got 11 speed Shimano and fancy a pootle around the Bucks countryside trying them out let me know.
    I've got much more expensive clinchers and happy for you to see how well the handbuilts compare.

    "Prominent member" would be Ugo, one assumes? Don't do Shimano - Campag 10 speed (for now)

    Whereabouts in Bucks are you?
