It doesn't have the groove of the K-Wing and the drops flare out more. Here's the best part-- there are some of them on ebay with a pink "K" logo which are seriously discounted-- I assume because no one wants the pink logo. I got mine for $109 shipped. New, never ridden. It says "SL-K" on the top and there are 3 colors of the K for whatever weird reason... white, red and pink. I can live with a pink K especially given that right now my lights are covering it all.

I'll post my own thread later when I've put some road miles on them. They're great on the trainer.
Thanks for that tip. Quick question, I ride 42cm ergonovas which I guess are really 40cm at the hoods and love the size. What size FSA should I bought? 40?
