- can't be trued, repaired
- narrow rim, rather old fashioned now.
- worse aerodynamics, more drag, less stable in cross winds.
The Zipps are similar to the Enves as well.
Do you prefer the Meilenstein over your Zipp NSW?
Why?

I like the thought of blue Chris Kings. I actually used the turquoise ones on a matte black BMC build a few months ago and 7-8 riders have commented on them. They do stand out without being too garish. I also love the sound. The DT240s get a bit loud so will have to quieten those down. The Chris Kings don't ever get annoyingly loud but can be quietened down with a light touch of their ring lube. I think my next wheelset will be Zipps or Enves but undecided on hubs. I am not sure that the 454 new hubs are going to be more dependable or durable. The 188/88s were a relative disaster. Were the 177/77s much better?

I have them. Are the El Dorado still on sale?..was under the impression it was a limited run. Pretty sure the only difference is color. Work well!

I would build it to spec as Team Sky rides it. That way it has some sort of collectible value and definitely good taste. Doesn't have to be the most expensive to be the best. This is the way I'd build that F10
Dura Ace 9150 Di2
Dura Ace C50 Tubulars
Stages R9100 powermeter
Vittoria Corsa Speed G+ tubulars
PRO bar / stem combo
Whatever saddle you like
Maybe Ceramic Speed pulley wheels

I thought -
2015 Sky used FMB tires.
2016 I think the Conti.

I think they are both ugly, but that isn't part of the criteria here.
