Thanks, yeah it would definitely be more sinister with black tape and no decals on the wheels. As for wheels hell I really don't know now, I'm trying to avoid wanting used zipps even though they're so much cheaper. I gravitate between williams 38s and maybe some reynolds assaults. I have found some good deals on unused wheels on slowtwitch though (EC90 TT's for less than $1k). Unsure at this point because I really shouldn't spend over a grand, if that. My wheels are 1650g and 26mm deep right now so lots of room for improvement - I'll definitely keep them for training on though since they're extremely sturdy. Any suggestions?

Find a trigeek, and buy a set of Zipps from them like I did. Trigeeks don't use their wheels, they simply own them.

Funny, just as you said that a tri geek listed his 808's on Boston CL. You paid 1200 for your 404s right? What could I get a rear 404 for? I could go the 343 route.

Man I wish, I've got some saving to do unless I wanna start sacrificing things like my guitar/amp or my Bianchi. Don't think I'd want to do that though.

Yeah I blew my Christmas bonus on my wheels. It was either that or another shotgun, I figured I'd get more enjoyment from the 404s.

Ha! I WISH I had a garage, then my bike wouldn't be in my living room. And I'm keeping the Stainless Steel bottle cages - never have liked carbon. I'm surprised you didn't notice the bike is sans-cassette. Semper Fi.

Abused, and dirty as hell. It was a mess out there today, but I haven't ridden outside since Jan 1. Long overdue, rode great with the new setup.
