Advice on wheels and question about levers for Valencia handlebar's

I'm after a set of wheels for my Pompino build up and have spotted these in Cycling weekly.

http://davehinde.veriovps.co.uk/Merc...5fbbded195ab9b

Any thought's ?

I also want to fit a set of Cinelli Valencia city handlebar's but I'm not to sure on what brake lever's to use with Froggleg Cantilever Cyclo Cross brakes ?

I used a set of valencias for a while. I found them really uncomfortable when run the right way up, but they were great when run upside down. I used an o/s crosstop lever fitted right next to the stem. It really wasnt ideal and if i still had the bars on now i'd run a TT lever at the end of the bar seen as you pretty much put your hand on the ends when riding them.

no idea about bars, but the wheels are:

- zenith/formual hubs
- mavic CXP22 rim
- ACI double butted spokes

they cost £110.

Sorry if I missed something.

Sorry. I think what I meant is if you're asking about what the wheels are like you have the ans. there.

Reading/searching of this forum and the web tells you everything you need to know...

...how much the seperate parts cost (so you know if its a good deal)

...what each of the parts are lke (so you know if they're any good)

If you want to know what Dave Hinds is like...


EDIT: re the brakes - I'd have thought you could use any levers with the Froggleg's as they look like normal canti's. You just need to make sure they fit the bars ("diameter measures Ø24")

Try Graham Weigh cycles - complete wheels for £75 - basic hubs, nothing special. There's also the Halo Aerorage wheels for £120.
