Oh sure, you could raid the kids' college savings fund or cash in the 401K to get yourself race wheels that drop jaws and elicit gasps of horror on the start line. Or you could put on Flash-Point 60s, and let your legs do the talking. The deep 60 mm rim ruthlessly controls the airflow during road races and time trials so you can power the break, catch your minute man or head into the run with a nice lead on your age group nemesis. And at just 1836 grams for the set, they'll climb all but the steepest grades with mountain goat prowess. The only thing they won't do? Put you into bankruptcy proceedings.

The high points:
Structural woven carbon rim ensures strength and durability
Vibration damping comfort
Aluminum braking surface provides strong, smooth stopping
Carbon performance, clincher convenience
Same toroidal aerodynamic rim shape used by the world's most aerodynamic wheels
SAPIM spokes with alloy nipples 18F/20R New for '08!
Anodized hubs with quick-release levers, compatible with Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo New for '08!
Japanese bearings
Hand-built by Zipp in Speedway, Indiana USA

i bought this set in 2006
i have used them for almost all the training and two ironmans. I predict i have put about 3000 miles on them. When i did my full tune up last year the guy said they were still true and barely needed any adjustment.
I was very impressed as i am over 200lbs and ride them hard.
Truly a pleasant surprise...............light and fast and very strong
