here's my Orange R8. The wheels were built up by JRA with velocity P35 rims.
With Furious Freds -- good for round here, Norwich way -- weight comes in at just under 21.5 pounds according to scales at my LBS. That's a 2.25 Fred on the rear and a 2.4 on the front -- shame they stopped making those as it's a killer tyre.
Bike is really quick but super stiff, solid, and comfy to ride. Can't say enough good things about the wheels.

Odd choice of rims......P35's are fatastic (and quite portly to boot).
Edit..just spotted front suspension 😀
🙂
the rims aren't perfect but still seem to be the lightest widest rim out there.

Pacenti Tl28's are still pretty wide but impressively light.
Has your lawnmower broken down?
Shocking. Shocking, I say!
😉
Those Pacentis were coming out just as I got these wheels built up -- wanted to try really wide with these.
Have a rigid lawnmower, too. . .
actually just use garden shears 🙂
