What frames do Spin wheels look at home on?

This looks cool to me

Cool. Shame that you have to choose every other component on the bike very carefully just to make the wheels look good though.

Fair point - fsvo of cool and good, though...

Even as far as not bothering with a chain, and just using The Force to transmit pedalling energy to the rear wheel.

They look good on bikes like this. track bikes

note rear facing onza bar ends also!

i don't think graham would have gone very quick if he was actually using spin wheels though...heavy as..

Amazing wheels, but agree they look odd a lot of the time. The trek and spins look like they were made for each other.

From a long time ago...
They look good, but they where damn heavy.


Stumpie M2 Spins by ritcheyp20, on Flickr

hey, I had that matte red stumpy when it came out in 96; good memories
Didn't have spins on it, though.

When i think of Spins, I think of GT's.

Specialized/Hed and Mavic or Corima look AWESOME on the right time trial or velodrome bike... (or even "fixie." shhhh)...

But Spins are something different aesthetically and in terms of performance. I think they look kinda nasty on pretty much everything MTB. Spinergy are perhaps a hair less bad aesthetically--till they crack and break your collarbone.

I can see how they "work" on a carbon LTS, Y bike Trek, or a busy Cannondale but those examples are sort of a perfect storm of gross for me....
