I like Zipp wheels for many reasons. They are fast, they are durable, they are light and best of all, I have an OEM account with them so I get them way cheaper than retail shops. Its always nice to have a great friend that works there as well...
Now, why do all my bikes have Zipp? Well, when exhibiting at shows, I just "borrow" them and return them when the show ends. It gives a consistent look and feel that the bikes are "made for speed and competiton". Sure, I could bling out a bike with some Velocity's with color, but that doesnt say "fast" in my book, it says I care more about how a bike looks than rides...not that my bikes dont look good, but I just think they should look FAST when on display and perform when being ridden. Does that make sense?

DW! That bike is awesome and you look great in a kilt, big boy! I'll be in your neck of the woods (well, not really. I'll be in Houston) from April 7th-14th. We should get into some more heated political debates at the local brewhouse. I'm sure my views will get a much different reaction in Texas!

The specs and the visuals tell me that bike was made for someone who cares about crushing...

I'm going to keep the beams in front just 'cause but adding the rear supports would get rid of the flex thats been bothering me. Dunno why I didn't think of that.

You can't expect it not to affect things.
It's like the same with some friends of mine from the OC, the ability to see any sort of bigger picture is ****ed up, and the reaility around you becomes a bit of truth.
