CL is dead by the way. Not sure what happened, but CL and Ebay are gutted as far as used goods. I see a circa 2009 Zipp 404 for $650, which is a 20mm wide wheel??? You'd be better off on a lot of current $400 AL wheels unless you're running a 21mm tire. Everything else is junk or overpriced
Last year I could buy 404 firecrest rims at $600 ish. That's save $1k over decent carbon new and little to nothing has changed in our wheel industry since that era. 2009 is pushing is but only because of the width and honestly the width issue is massively overblown. we raced guys in that era who put down times that would still win the same races now. The effects are there but their impact on the rider has been massively overblown for a long time.
