edited September 2009 in Road buying advice
If one were to have a set of brand new 2008 Zipp 404 tubular wheels, campag, 700c, cyclocross version, (which has a few more spokes and 70g heavier the pair than standard, but perfectly usable on road) what would you say they'd get on ebay?

Thanks

    If they were Shimano - I'd say £800. But as they're Campy - no more than £400. 8)

    Zipp - special secret ingredients is eggshell isn't it? Don't forget to budget for a new pair of rims every year and watch out for the cracks in the road - run over them and they're liable to crack!
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Is that through experience or vicarious mumblings on the internet?

    I haven't heard of anyone I know actually damage a pair but I've seen lots of mention of friends of friends who have apparently broken one on the internet...

    Well said Nap.....Ive had a pair of 303s for a year now and have been over many a pothole - wheels still true, and I have never serviced em til now, although will do soon when the Racing Zeros go back on for winter.

    Can you break a Zipp in hyper-interweb-space? Well Ive got a friend of a mates friend who's mums a nurse.....

    remember Johnny Briggs, the schoolboy series with the little girl in class who always answered quetsions with, "Well, my mum....who's a nurse..." and everyone groaned?

    Sorry babbling again.
