They look good, but they where damn heavy.

I have to say I am one of the many
Spins only look right on full carbon frame racing and time trials bikes
the only mtb I've seen where they are borderline acceptable is on retromans carbon raven (although the yellow edged tyres make it look so fat i thought they were off a puglsy)

Well it really is a case of love and hate on the old Spin wheels I still don't know what to do with them. Think I will throw them away before I start getting bullied on the way home from school!!!!!
I still don't know what to do with them. Think I will throw them away before I start getting bullied on the way home from school!!!!! They are functionally terrible and they are aesthetically terrible. That just about covers most things that are relevant to a bike design.
Just my personal opinion and no wish to offend anybody, but I think they look really bad on all the bikes shown in this thread except for Merckx's Trek. They look almost ok on the Trek, perhaps because it's black, also carbon fibre, and also the frame shape picks up some of the same curves. That seems to me to be a design that makes the best of a bad job.

Carbon? that's wishful thinking for Spins! Them bad boys are Thermoplastic! I have to admit they never look at home really but They also just stink of the 90's.
