vanity bike, as cheaply as possible
Does not compute.
For only £200 more you could have Fulcrum wheels - surely £200 is a small price to pay for the Campagnolo vanity sticker in place of some no-brand wheel?

I wore out my non-rebuildable factory wheels, but since building the Cervelo have I have lost the heart for spending silly money on unnecessary stuff. So not quite ready to put RS-81s on it, but want to avoid pro peloton prices.
For some reason I've always had a big aversion to Campag, and therefore Fulcrum, especially on a Shimano equipped bike.
I'm going to have a measure...I can use an old 24c Pave, but not a 25c Corsa. The rim is lower than the widest point of the tyre though and the seat stays open out so 24.5mm rims may be okay.

If one was after a mid depth, max 23mm wide, full carbon clincher for one's vanity bike, as cheaply as possible without the constant fear of imminent failure and instant death, is there a better option out there than these?

Actually, just noticied the width...my frame may not clear them.
