Like the wheels so far. Not quite as stiff as my old K's but they seem to roll better-could be that they're new and my K's are 5 y/o! As for holding up in a crit-Look bikes are built pretty well-I'd choose it over some of the thin-walled aluminum cans out there 
Haven't checked the weight recently. I got about 17.5 roughly a whike ago but since I've added a few lighter items. It's a 57cm frame, so it ain't small.

These general comments should also apply to the KG461 & KG481 - to some degree.
The KG386 has the geometry suited for crit racing - specifically it has the shorter wheelbase that crit and road racing bikes usually have. The bottom bracket itself is very solid. It is at least as solid as the Cannondale CAAD4 I rode for a while. Overall, the frame is solid, but it is not as stiff as some other racing bikes. (On the flip side, the Look frame is extremely comfortable over long distances.) The bottom line is that the Look will perform just fine for most of us mortal riders. Riders who prefer very stiff bikes for sprinting probably wouldn't like the Look as quite as well.
