Beth, As you probably figured out by now, everyone is right. Roval is an old brand that made funky racing wheels. They went under, specialized bought the name and uses it as their house brand wheels. You have the original ones. They were pretty light race wheels. I am not sure if there is anything special outside of the low spoke count aero rim bladed spoke genre. The hubs were cool. I think they came in the full complement of funny bike wheel sizes (700c, 650c, 24") I can't remember about the bearings either.
