Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I Need A Set of Wheels Quick! Help.

I need a set of wheels really quickly. I'm hoping some of you with more experience with the online purchasing thing might point me to a better deal(s) than I've found. I intend to purchase within 72 hours.

Requirements:

1) Campy 10 speed compatible
2) Prefer black graphics
3) Sub $200 - 250. These are a training / trainer / 2nd set of wheels

I'm leaning toward Ribble's Khamsin (but the graphics have red, which I'm sure I'll regret later), Scirocco or the Fulcrum 7 (again with the red )

Ideas?

(I'm open to buying used if the item is in really good condition (I'm soooo sick of old bike crap that doesn't work ), so if you have something that's in excellent shape and will cause me no issues feel free to PM me.)

either of the three you're looking at are great. the fulcrum racing 5's are your best bet, and they can be had for about 250.

I haven't seen them this low. Do you recall where you saw a price like that?
