The wheel rims are Open Sport however if you want to use tires on the wider side, get something else....I am running 700x 35's but these rims are recommended for tires 32mm and narrower, according to Mavic. I don't think its a big deal and I won't run mine over 80 psi but I almost sent mine back. Keep in mind however that I am 260+ pounds so that's were I am coming from. Otherwise they roll very nice and the hubs are smooth. Changing gears is no biggie just keep any 15mm wrench in your tool bag. I'm having a custom one EDM machined by a friend with some cool features. The seat post is a generic single bolt model and totally fine, even for my big body and it is silver and shiny. I like my bike very much, its replacing a mid 1980's aluminum and steel bonded frame so its a big improvement as far as I'm concerned. I'm happy that the tubing is a little heavier also than the old Quickbeam. The lug work is really nice and the fork has that nice curve that seems to be missing on most other forks these days. I hope to ride mine often as my primary exercise bike and commuter.
