The wheels are actually new to the bike (used for sub-$500). I opted for something on the robust side with an aluminum breaking surface because I'm 60 lbs over "race weight" from when the bike and I were both a lot hotter. When she was in her prime, she rolled on Zipp 404s. Unfortunately, when I hung up the bike, I ended up selling the Zipps to fund gear for a new hobby. These Dura-Ace wheels are a good fit for my current needs, and not far off the vintage of the bike.
