OHHHH....
Ahhh fooled ya! You thought I got the Zipp's didn't you!
Once I get the stickers off, add a carbon weave layer on the rim, paint the spokes half-yellow and put a large carbon dork disc on both sides of the hubs, I'm gonna have myself a pair of ghetto lightweights.

So, what's worse than some bike-geek posting pictures of his new wheels?

As time passes the price will become less important. But you will enjoy nice wheels for a long time.
Kinda like a $900 light.

Well I don't have tubes, but so far I was able to get a pair of specialized 700x23's and 700x21's on it in literally a minute with my bare hands (I think i'm gonna get another pair of 700x23's and chuck the 21's, the wheel seems a bit narrow for it).
