    Nope, but they've been recommended in the past and I'd order stuff off them, if they had what I wanted at the right price.

    totalcycling.com, has these wheels in Titanium £580.
    I've bought from them in the past with no problems.

    £493.55 @ comobike.com :shock:

    Think you'll struggle to match that price anywhere else!

    Hi Steve,

    Fitted a set of Shamal Ultra's to my Pinarello Paris a couple of weeks ago, first impressions are very good, nice and light and spin up very well.
    I've finally figured out how to post pics :oops: so here's a couple showing the wheels on the bike

    CIMG1917.jpg

    CIMG1916.jpg

    Only negative I can think of are the q/r skewers aren't very pretty, so I'm still using my Mavic ones, I use a Mavic Wintec computer anyway with the sender built into the front skewer so may as well keep them paired up.

    Can't help you with where to get a pair of Shimano ones as mine are Campag.
    I got them for £520 at my LBS www.westbrookcycles.co.uk in Stokesley near Yarm, but he did say that Campag were about to put a 7% price rise through.

    Good luck,

    Poucher :wink:

    No, because Italy is in the EU, and so it the UK.
