Trust me, it was a very difficult decision. One that I feel good about, but I have still gone back and forth after deciding. It comes down to future issues. I cant control what happens with this or that or if i get taken out by a fellow cyclist or hitting a pot hole that I didn't see in time. Having to replace a wheel would be devastating financially. IF financial wasn't an issue at all, I would buy both. If I knew i could buy an aluminum set within the next 2 months because my income would support that, I would have jumped all over them. Fact is, I cant afford to do that. I need an all around durable wheel. There is NO question how sexy the enve wheels are and that I loved them though.

At the end of the day, The C2 is also a top notch wheel with top notch parts I am using to build. This may be wrong, but I didn't feel that one was a better wheel than the other. I felt they were 2 different wheelsets both top quality but everything about them was different and I had to make a choice on what was financially realistic. I believe that I will be very happy with the C2's AS LONG as I allow myself to be and not hold onto the enve's in my head wishing that I would have gotten them. Maybe some day I can have both. After I buy these, I can start saving up again and maybe next year I can purchase them. By then, this set (If still around) will be cheaper and I will have saved up enough. They are a demo wheel and not normally for sale at all times, so I would imagine her to hang on to them for a while. I built a good relationship with Jude and I think she would take care of me with a future wheelset.
