PSA: zipp 404s at competitive cyclist
2011 zipp 404 aluminum clinchers. $1150 for the SET (yes, two wheels, front and rear) at competitive cyclist. that's 50% off retail. today only, as part of their 12 days of christmas promotion.
got the email and figured i'd pass it along. not what i need right now, but it's a fantastic deal.

realize these are aluminum beaded clinchers.
Very durable wheel, but not the lightest, and no longer the most aero.
They're clearing these out, now that you can get a 404 clincher all carbon with the firecrest rim.

Great deal for a decent aero wheel. I believe they are canceling production of this wheelset and suppliers are blowing out current inventory.

I was going to buy these, till I called them and found out it is not the FC design.
Bought a pair of 2011 Stinger 6 FRs from RA Cycles for $1365 instead

They had $1365 for one day only (on the 6th).
I contacted them about it as I had some questions about international shipping - by the time I got around to placing the order, the price had gone up to $1680, but they said they'd give me the old rate (as my order was delayed by the time difference).
My card HAS been charged $1680, but they said they'd sort it out. Let's see - they're a big enough shop that I am pretty certain they won't rip me off, even if they ARE in Brooklyn.
Also score a pair of Vittoria Evo CXs from PBK for $65 apiece (after the USEXTRA15 discount), so am pretty stoked, all in all
