several of my friends (and myself) have always wondered what became of roval? did they get bought up or...? though virtually nothing in even the craziest of spoked wheel design these days is truly new (a fair number of the straight-pull and non-standard flange designs of todays hubs being 100+ years old), some of the wheelsets out there do seem to have taken quite a bit of influence from the roval design...
theyre still great wheels, and a steal at the price theyre at right now...
