I'm getting a funny feeling in my shorts from looking at the Zipp wheels. Are they 303s?

404's are pure sex! Try to find some aged tyres like Lance uses, they are about $400 apeice

What's the weight on that bad larry?

it was 16.9 lbs on the shop scale before the wheels,cranks,bars were changed. Should come in in the high 15's now. Still have a few changes to make to lighten it on up

we finally sold a pair of 303s for $999. sold them to a lady putting them on an old Raleigh frame she was turning into a tri-bike. i swear she also bought a rack.

IMHO Zipps are worth the $$$$. I can tell a huge diff between Zipps and other wheels. They have been several other supposed upgrades over the years that honestly seemed to make no difference to me.

That bike gives me wood

You better be winning on that thing

can you adjust it anywhere between 73-78?

I just wish they would offer a toned down version for less $$
They are amazing.

no, 73 when laid back, 78 when laid forward

i always shy away from them when considering wheels due to weight. are the new ones lighter?

1590g total. 5g heavier actually. Not a value by anymeans. But if you have the coin for a cool set of race wheels then you should consider them for sure.
