Hi, I am building a steel framed road bike. I have my Cinneli steel frame already bought. I am now looking to buy some wheels.
I was thinking about buying Campagnolo Scirocco wheels at £200 or buy hand made wheels, that cost £265 but are being sold to me for £200.
The only difference I know is the Scirocco’s Bearings are Cartridge and the hand made wheels are Sealed.
The hand made wheels come where made at http://www.wheelcraft.net/ by a very experienced wheel builder.
I mainly cycle on CTC runs or organised sportives up to 100 miles
Which would you advise?
