SOUL is really selling me lately. I'm more & more interested daily.

My S2.0SLs weighed 1330g, so 1910g (per Bontrager)-1330g=580g=1.28lb. For me I did change from a 105 cassette to an Ultegra (both 11-28T), used the optional titanium skewers from Soul, and the tires are different (Bontrager RXL All-Weather changed to Conti 4000S).

I've had the urge to replace my 5600 group with Rival. I could live with the 5600 but it's always that urge to finally go SRAM.

So, original order placed on Feb. 2, I paid 4 days ago; no shipping info yet.
I'm impatient when it comes to ordering stuff online, so this has been hard for me.
Sean has been very nice, but this whole "place order and wait for info" thing isn't fun.

Imagine the surprise when tracking info said: "Held at customs at destination" and the wheelsets still showed in 2 days. I know how you feel, but be patient (I know I know, this coming from a guy who didn't get/have rim tape for one of the wheels so I'm looking around for bike shops I KNOW are closed on Sunday to see if they'd be open; I was willing to drive 2 hours one-way; AND I have the damn rim tape on order for overnight delivery from Amazon; I paid extra for that even as a prime member. AND I'm traveling for work tomorrow, so I won't be around anyway ..) I get it
but be patient.

i feel that, Joe.
does anyone know the rider weight limit for the S3.0SL? the site lists 210#, but doesn't say whether that's for the SL or the Xpert.
i've been all over the web since first stumbling this thread, i've never put so much thought into a wheelset before. kind of amazed that i can lose weight *and* gain aero compared to my Ksyrium Elites, which i happen to like quite a lot. and they even cost less than new Elites! you guys told me, but i had to see for myself. aside from buying used, these wheelsets can't be beat for value and hotness.
only one question remains: how long until i crack?

I gave in 
.
Before I heard about Soul I had my sights on Easton EA90slx, Ksyrium SL, and Rol d'huez. I wanted a light low profile all around wheelset. All three are over $650.
Then I discovered the 2.0sl. At around $500 with the color options I selected you can't beat it. The only downside is the the time it takes because they are an overseas manufacturer. But after hearing from the recent owners the wheels are well worth the wait. I probably have 2 more weeks before mine arrive.

Can someone please post some pictures of the C5.0 Prodigy wheels. I'm really interested to see some on a bike.
