I agree. I mocked up the 32h CXP22s on my '89 CR and they don't match as well as the 28h Open Pro CDs that are usually on it. The stickers on the CXP22s that I have are larger than yours, but I'll wait to see how they look on the '88.

Banned.
I suppose it would depend on the road surface. I'm riding on very smooth, newer blacktop for the most part. I 'felt' as though the Eurus were stiffer, and that wasn't a bad thing where I ride. I think the Neutrons/Nucleons are a bit more 'resilient'. I wonder if Campy had a chart for the older wheels llike they do for the new ones that show the trade offs.

I always look for the reviews that pertain to older, well fed riders such as me.
In the end, they are all very nice. My Eurus wheels are on my buddies' Supercorsa and he stole them from me. Bugs me that he's quicker.....

OldsCOOL, When I was planning the '88's build the Vueltas were on the "Dark Rim" list. Ultimately I changed the frame set's color to white and decided to go "bright". I think they'll really fit in for your project.
