Anyone have any experience with these older carbon wheels? I hear the company was from Austria but is no longer in business. Can't find much info on them but they look pretty sweet. Don't see them around much on either side of the pond.

I have a chance to buy some, though the price is pretty steep.
Hard to get any idea of a fair value.

Ah well, I took the plunge and bought them.

Curious what "steep" was for older wheels.

It would embarrass me to say! Got them mainly for design, not performance. I picked up the bug for these wheels and that kind of thing is almost impossible for me to shake off once it gets hold.

Cool, no worries. They're definitely an interesting find. :beer:
