Finally, I upgraded and got my Zipps
After a year and a half I upgraded my Campy Zonda's to a set of Zipp's. 303 front and 404 rear. Here's a tip for others looking to get Zipp's. I got these on ebay, both are new, but I bought them separately in two different auctions. Why? It's a lot cheaper that way. Bought the front for $510 and the rear for $650. That makes the set for less than $1200. Both were new 2008 models. Took it for spin today and wow what a difference, I knew they would be faster, but the road feel is so much smoother. I didn't know what I was missing.
Anyway, thought I would share my buying tip and a pic as well. Also got to try out my new 705 and new token pulleys. So far so good, since my 305 crapped out on me a couple of times.

you need a KMC X10SL Gold chain. Now.
(actually a great long lasting chain, that is the lightest on the market, and the color would match to a 'T')
What does it weigh?

Not sure, my guess is in the 15# range. Though they are lighter than my old Zonda's it's not like I'm losing a pound or anything, maybe a couple of grams.
Riding them everyday!
