    I bought some from a German shop recently: http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k632/a47339/racing-zero-dark-label-for-shimano-8-9-10-speed.html

    The price works out to be around £562, which I was very happy with! The service was good too, the wheels arrived a couple of days after I ordered.

    I have the red rim and spoke racing zero clinchers and love them. I also have the newer dark label version. Spokes are more 'boring" on the newer ones but the quality is still outstanding. £799 is not a particularly good price. You can have my dark labels for £750 if you want, only done exactly 496 miles. My red ones have done over 14,000 miles and are still spot on in terms of being true and they spin forever.

    Great wheels, but a bit steep I reckon. I picked mine up a few months ago on Wiggle in the low £600's - hang on a bit longer for a better deal I'd say (or go German as per Cubic's advice).

    ribble do zeros for low £600's

    the £799 is for the compertition version

    lighter with extra gofaster tech.... YMMV literally

    basically they are shamals with the G3 spoking pattern spread out a bit
