I am a 150 lbs. 16 year old kid. Do you think that for my weight, that I could get by with these as not quite an everyday wheel, but riding on them for most occasions?
Thanks.

Diddo on Christian's comments with the addition that you will want to ride like a butterfly if you want the wheels to last for a while. That means riding good road avoiding potholes, bumps, and cracks in the road as much as possible. And absolutely no curb hopping, as fun as it is. ;-)

Based on your weight I would definitely say yes. However, riding tubulars as your "most occasion" kind of wheelset is an expensive tire option, since you would have to carry an extra tubular tire in case of a flat. You might want to consider a clincher wheelset instead that takes a standard tube.
