That's a weird looking bike, but in a good way. Go fast enough those stripes could cause a seizure.

That's part of his race strategy:
1) Go fast
2) Cause opponents to have seizures
3) Profit.

Impressions: They are super loud. Louder than my old Campy Centaur hubs, louder than the Novatec hubs on my tubulars. Yes, like a lawn mower.
Stiff and light for such a tall rim. And yeah, I'm not crazy about the decals. I was hoping they were just peel off, but there seems to be a clearcoat, and if I decided to sell them down the road I might as well keep them on.
