Interested in opinions and perhaps have a look in the alloy.

I've done about 2000km on my set.
They are still as true as the day they came out the box and roll for days.
I'm 6'5" and 100kgs and run them on my tarmac doing approximately 200km a week.
I am by no means a wheel aficionado but i have owned decent sets of bontrager, DT Swiss , Fulcrum and mavic wheels.
The ProLite A42's and fulcrums are my favorite.

Over 3500 km on mine. Still perfect despite FNQs rough roads, tram crossings and abundant pot holes. In a bunch perhaps they roll too well, often find I'm catch up to others who are pedaling while I'm coasting.

I have the A27s. Very happy with them, about 6,000km down. Now a very slight buckle in the rear <1mm after smacking a pothole hard last week, will true when I get my truing stand.
The front also has a slight wobble after running up the back of another cyclist who stopped unexpectedly, and not quite knocking him off his bike. Mostly trued out. Needs the truing stand to get the last little bit. Would still be perfect otherwise.
Tough and fast. And very light for the money. Would buy again.

Thanks all for your replies... all very positive.
Anyone in Perth running A42 that I can have a gander at?

I had a set of the Gavia 42s, same rim with the Bolzano hubs. Would recommend.
...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

I started looking at the Bracciano's after reading this thread.
Don't know too much about wheels, so can anyone tell me the performance difference between getting these wheels and say a carbon Zipp 60 which is the same weight and almost same rim profile? $1000 difference....
