Bought these high end wheels from a bike shop with 50 miles on them. I rode them on 2 training rides and 1 group ride, so they are essentially new with 110 total miles. Comes ready to go with Maxxis Columbiere tires/ Velomax skewers/ 11-21 ultegra cassete I bought at the same I bought the wheels. These wheels spin forever and are really stiff and light. I will be taking a huge hit and hate to let them go, but I am switching over to mtb riding. Price is $450.00 shipped (paypal) pm if interested.
Here are the specs: Weight is 645 gr. fr and 832 gr. r Total 1477 gr.
Hubs* R-series with twin thread technology and precision-sealed cartridge bearings/low drag seals
Rims* F&R are shallow V Gen 3 rs black anodized w/machined braking surface
Spokes* Double-butted stainless steal T3 twin thread technology 24 fr and 28 r
Nipples* Nickle plated brass rear ds, custom-anodized aluminum NDS fr and r

I love my Orion II. If they were good enough for Bicycle John they're good enough for MOP me. And yes, they seem to spin forever, so I just wanted to comment here if anyone is looking for a good all around wheel. It was also pointed out to me they are slightly more aero than the Mavic Aksium race wheels even thoughit is not a bladed spoke.
I run them with Michelin Krylion Carbons.

I certainly wouldn't use Mavic Aksiums as an aero baseline...those things are shaped like a brick.

tru dat. but going into Oceanside 70.3 these were my only two wheelsets. being a reasonable individual, I acquires carbon tubulars 3 days before the race and the point became moot.

You are right about aksium being bricks. These wheels are more in line with Mavic SSL's and hundreds of dollars cheaper. Just check out the reviews. Thanks
