I've been running my champagne rims for about 18 months now and they're still as good as they were the day they came on my 221Pr. And believe me, they've been properly used and abused in that time... On the topic of the 220 Kamel- that's what I've been waiting for, no way I'd pay what Monty want for the 221 but this should be a perfect replacement for the Pr as my comp bike.
