Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What is this product?
I was looking through wheels on amazon and came across this:

https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...TC39C&v=glance

It looks like it might be a mistake (699.99 maybe?) but under color it only says replacement warranty...Although under product description and title it looks as if it's the actual wheelset. What do you guys think?

I wonder if you could argue with amazon and get them for $70.

I don't know...It's sort of misleading either way.

Well I think retail is 850 and they've been going for around 600 online.

If you add it to your cart the item name changes to 'Mavic Ksyrium SL Wheel Set - Pair - Shimano MP3 Crash Replacement Program Add on '.

I'm glad we got this thread out in 2007, because I'm trying to minimize disappointment in the new year.
