    God Bless you tsnotarace! At the end of a brutal week at work you have no idea how much you have made my weekend by showing me that not only the 303 Firecrest wheel fits my frame but looks awesome on it to boot!

    I actually even called the bike store today & Scott & live chatted to Zipp & nobody could confirm whether it would fit. However, from the photos I had taken they were doubtful. I actually have the front wheel shipment halted until I confirm the rear (which should arrive by DHL Monday.....).

    Hope I can ask you a few more questions?

    1. How much wheel clearance is there? Zipp advised a minimum of 3mm either side to be safe from possible frame flex--I am 80-82kg & 187cm so I put some power down.
    2. I notice on your bike it does not look like you are using Dura Ace brakes. Is this because you needed to accommodate the Zipps?
    3. Most importantly, as you have the exact same frame as I do with DA group & Stem slammed, how do the wheels ride on it?

    Many thanks & now looking forward to Monday's delivery!!!

    Hope everyone gets to do some miles this weekend!
