Why did you buy two sets?
I like carbon as much as the next man, not sure I'd get two identical wheelsets though.
Now some 404's *and *some 808's, that makes perfect sense.

ohh.. cheap Zipp's - fuck you bank account

I used to run a few more bikes than I do now. Had many sets of wheels including 2 pairs of 404'. s Wanted an aero advantage, but am not racing any more so have gone for something a bit lighter and less aero, and need less wheels in total.
Part of the justification is also cosmetic. Went from a very modern looking fleet of carbon and titanium bikes and now just have the 2 steel Pegoretti's which I think look better with low pro wheels:
The blue Responsorium shows the Zipps that are for sale, although not in great detail admitedly.

Sorry to derail, but any pics of the old crabon and ti bikes?

Whats the white and black stripey one? Very sexy!
-

Looks like this up close.
The black and white one is a Duende in 'Guantanemo' (pearl white with hand applied barbed wire detail), the blue one is a Responsorium in 'Ciavete' (Dario basically does whatever he feel like!).
OK, so I know I am trying to sell some wheels, but here some close ups....

I googled it. Lovely... Absolutely lovely. I really like that white one

Bit cruel RPM. 'Unique' (ahem) for sure, but paint stripper, really? I love 'em both, and you won't see another like it, which is part of the appeal.
So, would it look better with Hyperons or Zipps?
Ignore aerodynamics and weight here - this is purely an aesthetic discussion. Vain I know, but no more racing means I can take more of a biketart's view on these things!

...now **just **have the 2 steel Pegoretti's ...
Jokes.
Just isn't usually a word you see preceding Pegoretti, let alone two. :)
Awesome bikes.

Yes, understand I am a lucky boy. They are beautifully crafted and ride really nice. The Responsorium is super light whereas the Duende is no lightweight, but there is something reassuring about a bit of substance underneath you.
Anyway, back to those Zipp's I am trying to sell.......

Phwore. Probably not to everyone's taste, but I think they are both hot.
Sorry, not interested in the wheels unless they magically transform into Shimano ;)

Real dope bikes, you happen to have a flickr account with the old carbon/ti bikes,
something tells me it must've been impressive ;) -

£102.12 http://www.slanecycles.com/zipp-freehub-body-shimanosram-0508-p-4629.html
:) I was considering it when the other pair were advertised.
I'll leave it a week, and hope that someone, who will make better use of them than I ever could, will take them. If they are still available I'll take it as a sign...
For the sake of my wallet, someone buy them. Please.
They would look sweet on my CAAD9 though...!

I've got one of the 'old stable' now. Would look pretty good with these Zipps too. But I'm not racing so no point really......
-
• #19
No point? No point?!
They look awesome, and sound great.

Resists urge to post pictures

I'll post some piccies of the old guard later.
Go on Nick, you know you want them!!
-
• #22
Ok, ok I'll take them off your hands.
But only for £500

I'll take them for £531.

£900 and they're yours.

The Campag cassette is wider than the Sram/Shimano one, with some wheels you need to have them redished and change or respace the axle if you swap freehub body- for example it's a real pain with Tune in this respect.
Would this be required with these, or is it a case of slapping a Shimano freehub body on, and bang the Campag one on eBay?
Campagnolo freeehub, 2010 Zipp wheels is as new condition with Continental Competition tubulars newly fitted. Includes Zipp Skewers. 200 miles on them at most.
Pictures available.
£950 collected or delivered centrally somewhere.
Before anybody gets their knickers in a twist about repeat ads, duplicate posts etc, I sold my previous set, but I have 2 sets. I have tried to close the other threads to be compliant with 'the rules', but for some reason they haven't closed.
This ad is for the second set. I want to purchase some shallow section Hyperons instead. If you want verification, I can let you know who bought them from here. There is a trail of PMs concerning the sale, so it's all legitimate.
