I purposely got mine as it had cast wheels.Now I'm thinking the spokes look good!

I have always loved spokes, but they are a pain in the a$$ to clean.

This is the first bike I've had with cast wheels and they do clean pretty easily,although I don't clean the bike as thoroughly or as often as I should.
Mostly a quick "waterless wash" spray and wipe over after each ride.Keep on top of it and it doesn't take much.

You cant beat spokes for that traditional look, but give me a puncture out there on the lonely open road and I"ll take a tubeless cast wheel every time...

That is why God created power washers and leaf blowers  
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
