Anyone Riding These 3 Spoke Wheels?
Looking for opinions on them. I'm trying to do a Super Pista build for riding paved streets and wondering if these are a good option. They seem kind of heavy at 3 kg per wheel. Thanks.

Honestly would not be surprised if that's close to the actual weight of those awful looking things.

These come with pre-soiled threads, I see.
Seller sounds legit, though: "We are professional seller on homeware-DIY, CNC engrvaer, TV Mount, rework station, Lock Sets Security Lamps, Swimming Pool Light We will provide you best quality products and best service!"

Thanks. I was quite fond of the color scheme myself! This will not be one of those elite builds like you often see at pedalroom.com. I am trying to be as economical as I can with it initially. I can always upgrade parts later on, when the parts are more readily available. However, at the present time, the cheap parts seem to be pretty hard to find but the super-expensive ones are available.

Your cog is slipping.
Those wheels are garbage.

Anyone know what the front fork arm and rear fork arm spacings are for the Bianchi Super Pista? I'm supposed to get the frame on the 17th, if the hurricane doesn't slow the delivery process down.

I thought the fixie tri-spoke fad died a well-deserved death about 12 years ago. They pair well with knuckle tattoos that spell NOBR AKES.

I ordered some tires from Velomine. Those guys are fast! My order from yesterday has already been shipped. Just made an add'l. order with them this morning for more parts. Thanks for the help.

Good advice for anyone buying parts, if the picture shows an American flag and is not from a brand that you see often on quality bikes, AVOID IT. Ain't got no time for none of that crap. Get something of quality and stick with a traditionally spoked wheel and avoid Ebay generally.
