I ran sewups for years, long after I gave up racing, and still have a fine pair of wheels and tires hanging in the cellar, along with the dead soldier rims of another era (Ambrosio Cronos with a couple of flat silks still on among them). But these days on these busy roads, I took up clinchers (on fine wheels built by my racing advisor -- Campy high flange), and while they are clearly not as quick as tubulars, they are closer than I might have thought. My Brooks Pro is needing replacement, though, and I'll get another. It was about 15 degrees this morning when I woke, so I think riding for this year will resume inside (fixed gear ancient Fuji Pro frame, with clinchers). Keep cranking.
