Perfect for cyclocross

Craigslist post here: http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/bik/3052992185.html

Dura Ace 7700 hubs
Mavic Reflex tubular rims
DT Competition 2.0/1.8 spokes laced 32x3
1650 grams for the set
8/9/10 speed

Hubs spin smooth. These wheels have been raced and are still in great
shape. I'll also include a set of Challenge Griffo tires with some life yet
to live. Why should you buy these wheels?

1) Light rims (381 grams) means they spin up fast and we all know being
able to do multiple quick accelerations is important in cyclocross.

2) DA hubs last forever if properly serviced - which you can easily do
yourself

3) You won't find a better combination of value, weight and durability
*anywhere*

4) CX Magazine has debunked the mud and sand performance myth between box
and deep/aero section rims

5) If you screw up the wheels during a race, any local shop can fix them
for a fraction of the cost boutique wheels would require.

Kinlin rims laced to DT Swiss 240 hubs with DT's top spokes, Aerolites.
I have used these for cyclocross the last two seasons as my dry day wheels and as backups on wet days. After last season I replaced the bearings in the rear hub with high quality Phil Wood bearings and they haven't been ridden since.
They are round, true, and light at 1400gr. They also ride really nicely and spin up quickly.
You can read a review of the clincher version of these wheels at:

$400
I have a few sets of tires that could go with them too if you're interested.
