I liked it better with the stickers. At a distance it helps differentiate them from all those Chinese knock offs.pawnii wrote:

Just buy the beyond black decals off eBay. $10 from the UK. They mightn't be from Zipp but buggered if I can tell the difference.pawnii wrote:
Opps, too late. I couldn't help myself.
I never wanted those stickers in the first place. When I brought the wheels last week I thought I would be getting the 2012 Beyond Black stickers (which was on display) but they sent me the 2013 stickers.
This was what i was expecting. It's grey and black in colour and has 'speed weaponry' under the Zipp writting. The 2013 decals are too bold and glossy IMO and detracts from the dark matte frameset.

Actually when I bought my shiny red 595 I needed to get some wheels .... there were some great deals on those American Classics at the time and they reviewed well (particularly in the US!) and i did consider it, but in the end ruled them out because I was concerned about the leery factor. Ended up with some Zipp 404, much more sober graphics So it was interesting to say the least to see the AmClass wheel on the new Look, kind of surprising actually since I see the brand as being a little more traditional in its aesthetic (although becoming less so with every new model). I'd love to see how they'd look on the Cofidis 595, if only I had the photoshop skills (hint, anyone?)toolonglegs wrote:sorry giants are rare for me...

Sorry I am being a bit harsh... Just that one in the pic with the white wheels is a bit yucky ... I am probably just jealous because of all the cast offs we get offered, none of them are XL ! .

Hi schroeds, very nice and I like the wheels. Funnily enough, today I was at a friends place and his bike (an Avanti) had these wheels, very niceschroeds wrote:Not mine (not sure if there is one in Aus yet) but I wish it was!

Does that include pedals and bottle cages, or not. I am trying to finish off a build, and I am looking to reduce weight at minimal cost. A logical start is to compare to similar budget bikes that weigh what I would like it to be.donkuok wrote:My first carbon road bike...Scott Foil 40 2013. 7.9kg]
