Good eye, I had those back in the late 90's, plowed the front wheel into a SUV that crossed double yellow line to turn from opposite side of the road at 30+ mph.. busted wheel, now it serves as momento:



cracked titanium frame, but the 1" carbon fork survived:



The Lightweight wheels were great, a bit un-nerving in long descents.
The lack of rotational mass is really noticable once you stop pedaling, they slow down just as quick as they can accelerate.. if not faster.
