Shimano RS80 C50 wheel release date

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas about a release date for the Ultegra versions of the DA 50mm carbon clinchers?

They were announced back in Feb but I can't find anything more about a release date for them online http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/arti ... 5095/?mp=0

Quite tempted by a set if they're a decent price

Madison finally have pics of them on their site



Release date at the minute looks to be 21st Jan 2011.

These have actually been out for 2+ years but branded as PRO. The wheels have been in the 2009 and 2010 Madison catalogue that I've somehow managed to get ahold of.

To prove I'm not making this up the Madison product code for the clincher front is: PRS692018.

The PRO wheels are different, for starters they are 24 spoke.

The spokes are the conventional bent type too, but the hubs are ultegra.

Not dissimilar, but not the same.

Madison said they shipped their first delivery to stores, anyone seen them yet? They couldn't say who they went to.... another delivery in feb to come.

Does this mean that the 7850 50mm will be coming down in price?
