That's funny, I've never seen one like that but if you've seen the manufacturing process, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. J-bend spokes are one of the most difficult materials for automated machinery to handle.
Edit: By "Funny" I mean funny - ha ha. Not funny, I have never seen that before therefore it doesn't exist, funny.
Is that 1422g for just the wheels, including the axles/QR skewers?
I'd better not tell you what I weighed a pair of steel 700c hybrid wheels at today, as they probably weigh nearly as much as your whole TT bike with tyres on!

1422g including rear bolts but not the front skewer. I know you can get lighter road wheels but track wheels are heavy. The bike weighs 7.2kg, not too bad for an aero build. I could get that down to the magical 6.8kg by putting on a set of carbon bullhorn/aero bars I have but they aren't as comfortable.
