Saavedra made at least most of group and I'll be tring to get my hands on a bunch of it to put in my upcoming spring cleaning sale. The quality is similar to Zeus in that it's not quite top drawer but very close. Zeus fans don't get bent out of shape I like the stuff too. I have a pair of the aero rims on a bike and they are super light, almost scary light even with the needed nipple grommets. I've heard that Saavedra made the "first" aero rims, what's the story? I have a weakness for the aero profile. thanks, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives very windy Santa Barbara, California
